	Free trade - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Free trade is the absence of artificial (government-imposed) barriers to trade among individuals and firms in different nations.
		Some have argued that many of the alleged problems in the current free trade system, such as the race to the bottom and restriction of the movement of labor, would be eliminated by having a single world government with one law and no borders.
		Historically, the free trade movement was skeptical and even hostile to the notion of intellectual property, regarded as monopolistic and harmful to a free, competitive economy.

	Free trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Free trade is the untaxed flow of goods and services between countries, and is a name given to economic policies and parties supporting increases in such trade.
		Free trade supporters argue that all countries have the right to opt out of the world market through isolationism and that companies are fictional persons who are taxed without representation and that the balance of power should shift away from the governments that exploit them.
		Free trade, then, creates an economic incentive for a race to the bottom in regulatory institutions; countries with lax, lenient, non-enforced, or selectively enforced regulatory legal structures will have a competitive advantage in attracting investment to their countries, and not merely in wages.

	Free Trade Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Free Trade Party, later known as the Anti-Socialist Party, was a political party in Australia from the 1880s until 1909.
		The Labor party nonetheless continued to grow in electoral strength, and Reid gained the support of several Protectionists who were antipathetic to Labor.
		Eventually Reid convinced Deakin that their two parties' future lay in a merger, and the Free Trade Party merged with the Protectionists to become the Commonwealth Liberal Party in 1909.

	Protectionist Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The Protectionist Party was a political party in Australia from the 1880s until 1909.
		Labor's program, however, was frequently too radical for the Protectionists, and the party ended up splitting, with the most liberal Protectionists, such as Isaac Isaacs and H B Higgins, supporting Labor while Deakin and the others moved towards George Reid's Free Trade Party.
		Deakin overcame his strong personal antipathy to Reid, and, the issue of tariffs having been settled, both wings of the Protectionists merged with the Free Trade Party to become the Commonwealth Liberal Party in 1909.

	TPMCafe \|\| Free trade and the Democratic Party
		Opposition to free trade is heavily interest-group driven, and the traditional urge to throw bones to dozens of groups is something the Democrats should think twice about before they make it a centerpiece of their economic policy.
		Because "free trade" allows capital to cross borders but keeps labor imprisoned on one side or the other, minimum standards for labor are a requirement to keep "free trade" from promoting a race to the bottom.
		Free Trade would actually be a pure positive for Americans if it was inextricably tied to a commitment by Congress to fully exploit the benefits that FT can only offer as a potentiality.

	History
		He was also leader of the Free Trade Party of NSW from 1891-1901.
		The Free Trade Party was against trade barriers, but was also considered "soft" on the White Australia Policy that was so mainstream politically in those days.
		Reid's party was also against the military build-up and conscription that were imposed in response to the Yellow Peril - the unjustified fear that the Japanese emperor, having won a territorial dispute against the Russian Czar in 1905, would then try to victimize the people living in Australia.

	George Reid (Australian politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		He succeeded Sir Henry Parkes as leader of the Free Trade Party, and became Premier of New South Wales in 1894 at the head of a progressive ministry supported by the Labour Party.
		He improved his party's position in the 1903 elections, and in August 1904, when the Watson government resigned, he became Prime Minister.
		Reid did not have a majority in either House, and he knew it would be only a matter of time before the Deakin's Protectionists patched up their differences with Labor, so he enjoyed himself in office while he could.

	Free trade - dKosopedia
		Some international organizations, such as the European Union and MERCOSUR, have implemented free trade in some forms between their member nations (customs union).
		One complaint is that developed nations tend to insist that developing nations open their markets to industrial products from the developed world, yet refuse to open their markets to agricultural goods from the developing world.

	Free Trade Agreements and Customs Unions, by Douglas A. Irwin: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of ...
		Free trade, usually defined as the absence of tariffs, quotas, or other governmental impediments to international trade, allows each country to specialize in the goods that it can produce cheaply and efficiently relative to other countries.
		While virtually all economists think free trade is desirable, they differ on how best to make the transition from tariffs and quotas to free trade.
		That is because groups that otherwise would be opposed or indifferent to trade reform might join the campaign for free trade if they see opportunities for exporting to the other countries in the trade agreement.

		The problem for the GOP is this: It is an unabashed free-trade party when Americans are souring on the fruits of free trade: 42 straight months of lost manufacturing jobs, and the threat of millions of back-office jobs being outsourced to India.
		Not only is he a free-trader, his party gave Bill Clinton the crucial votes to pass NAFTA and grant China "Most Favored Nation" status in the 1990s, until Bush made it permanent.
		Free trade has always been an ideology of elites, of academics, scribblers and think-tank denizens.

		For Taiwan, joining a free trade zone together with China, Hong Kong and Macau would be beneficial, for it would promote the development of economic relations and trade, and would also help Taiwan establish closer political and economic ties with other economies in the Asian region.
		Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (MAC), moreover, has stated that a free trade zone agreement cannot be finalized without exercising the power of the state; therefore the negotiations would have to be handled by the government.

		Everyone is a free trader, consciously or otherwise, they only take on the mantra of protectionism whenever their own wallet is affected.
		Thus it was prohibitively expensive to trade with the neighboring towns which of course retarded overall commerce and retarded the standard of living.

		Today, "free trade" is really "Faux Free Trade," simply sheep's clothing to mask the actions of predatory multinationals which do not have the best interests of the American public at heart.
		The spinners drag in the red herring of "Free Trade", but real free trade is based on David Ricardo's Theory of Comparative Advantage and that rests on "the key assumption of factor immobility." Labor and capital are assumed perfectly mobile within an exporting country, but must stay within that country.
		It wasn't a free trade deal and the U. is actively pursuing and implementing a protectionist trade policy, while telling the gullible that it's free trade.
