"""Will we reclaim the benefits of liberal trade or surrender to the tidal pull of nationalism? In this timely book, Ken Heydon rejects the false premise of economic rivalry and presents in stark detail the mounting costs of deploying the trade weapon."" Marc Froese, Burman University ""The Trade Weapon forcefully argues against the increasing use of trade policy as a tool of first choice. This accessible and topical book will be important reading for policy makers, businesses and anyone interested in the future of trade."" Peter A.G. van Bergeijk, Erasmus University"
