Freedom is on the decline around the world. Autocrats in Europe, Asia, and the Mideast are undermining our open societies, human rights, and the rule of law. The Russian invasion in Ukraine was a wake-up call for the West, but the biggest threat remains China. For two generations, Americans and Europeans have believed that change will come through trade, but instead of dictatorships becoming more like Western democracies, unfettered free trade has strengthened our enemies and undermined our countries. We are caught in a trade trap, faced with the decision to choose either opportunism and submission or opposition and emancipation. In The Trade Trap, one of the world's most powerful business leaders traces the rise and costs of Western dependency on China and Russia. And he suggests a radical new approach to free trade: The establishment of a new values-basedalliance of democracies. Membership is based on the adherence of three very simple criteria: the rule of law, human rights, and sustainability targets. Countries that comply with these criteria can engage in tariff-free trade with others. Those who don'twill pay prohibitive tariffs. Sharing the author's encounters with major global figures including Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, George W. Bush, Angela Merkel, Jack Ma, and more, The Trade Trap offers personal insight into the dangerous consequences of doing business with autocrats along with a bold proposal for a values-based trade policy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20230920. 650 $a Free trade $x Political aspects. 650 $a International trade $x Political aspects. 650 1 $a Democracy $x Economic aspects. 650 $a International economic relations. 710 $a Döpfner, Mathias., $d New York : Simon and Schuster, [2023]. 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231107011030.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20231014010126.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=02EFF3FE6A5711EE821FDDB657ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
