Daniel Griswold, Author of "Mad About Trade: Why Main Street America Should Embrace Globalization"

Daniel Griswold Mad About Trade: Why Main Street America Should Embrace Globalization With the global economy facing its worst recession in decades, what are the biggest threats to open markets in this era of globalization? Is there such a thing as "free but fair" trade? We hope you'll be able to join us as Mr. Griswold discusses these questions and exuberantly shows that globalization and free trade are to be appreciated, not blamed, for what they provide to Main Street.
