In response to Pat's post below, let me plug an essay of mine on the subject of free trade. I hope it hits the same level of passion that Pat desires, and that John achieves. It was published online for awhile, but the site is gone, so it rests on my homepage. I'm hoping to find a good home for it - all suggestions welcome. After circulating this link on our faculty listserv, I got several invites to classes of lefty colleagues to give the pro-free trade side of things. Fun for me, good for students, and, one hopes, educational for colleagues as well.
