Firms go into battle for free trade

Comment

"Firms go into battle for free trade" "What the average American has to understand is that they’ve benefited from globalisation because of cheaper imports. Bringing back their manufacturing jobs would not help them with this. But it’s a hard sell." So this guy is saying that manufacturing jobs which pay several thousands of dollars more per year than two-bit retail wage-slave positions are less valuable to average Americans than the availability of slightly-less expensive, cheap Chinese-made DVD players? Interesting perspective Mr. Corporate Lawyer has there. And maybe the author of this article can also explain how the term "free trade" applies to China given that China has a mountain of tariffs assessed most of made-in-USA exports.
