The Free Trade Blog

Does the world really need another blog?

Admittedly, there are some excellent ones already out there (one of my favorites is IntLawGrrls, although I may be biased. I blog there often). But I have found surprisingly few blogs exclusively devoted to international trade topics that are educational, engaging and balanced. I believe indeed the world can use at least one more blog, and this one aims to fit that need. Here, you will find not only my own opinions, but enough balanced, smart and engaging commentary to allow you to form your own.
