"Some book reviews write themselves, because the book is so clear and
articulate and easily read, and the information in it so straightforward that all
the reviewer needs to do is lay it out." —Thom Hartmann, liberal talk radio
and TV host.
"Fletcher knows his stuff; but he can write, too, and does a great job of ex-
plaining the proposition in his title. For sure, nearly all economic theoret-
icians favor absolute free trade. His book persuades me they are wrong.
Check it out." —John Derbyshire, conservative commentator, National

"Fletcher has written a powerful and refreshing critique of some cherished
assumptions held by mainstream economists. It is uniformly insightful,
often brilliant, and remarkably readable. Obama’s team should read it –
