Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>So while the UK is scrabbling around wondering how we might continue trading with a protectionist Trumpian America (see earlier post on services &amp; exports to the USA), the EU has been negotiating &amp; now concluded a major free trade deal with Mercosur, gaining access to a major South American trading bloc for European exports (with tariff reductions across around 90% of exports)... if only we'd been part of that; oh well... can't complain, at least we're 'independent'!</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Brexit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brexit</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/FreeTrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeTrade</span></a> <br>h/t FT</p>

Lyle Solla-Yates<p>As we in the U.S. enjoy the last moments of <a href="https://cville.online/tags/freetrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freetrade</span></a> for some period of time, I'd like to point out that we had this same <a href="https://cville.online/tags/tariff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tariff</span></a> mania over a century ago and discovered that it was a disaster. The definitive book on the subject was written by a writer named <a href="https://cville.online/tags/henrygeorge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>henrygeorge</span></a> . The book was called "Protection or Free Trade".
