Reviews
Krist, a former U.S. trade negotiator, provides a useful primer on current world trade rules, structures, and negotiations, from an American perspective.
The writing, level of discourse, and material are very accessible for an educated audience.
Krist has obviously put together a scholarly work displaying a very broad understanding of the ‘whys and wherefores’ of U.S. trade agreement history.
I would rate this work as very important and needed. The reader is given a very good understanding of post–World War II policies and the global context in which they have functioned.
