". This text has the following unique features: o The text begins with an historical overview of trade policy issues to provide context for the theory. o The text concludes with a detailed economic argument supporting free trade. o The welfare analysis in the Ricardian, Heckscher-Ohlin and specific factors models emphasize the redistributive effects of free trade by calculating changes in real incomes. o The trade policy chapter provides a comprehensive look at many more trade policies than are found in a printed textbook. o A chapter about domestic policies contains an evaluation of domestic taxes and subsidies that are often ignored in traditional trade textbooks but are increasingly important as large countries complain more about each other's domestic agriculture policies and labor and environmental policies. o The text uses the theory of the second-best to explain why protection can improve national welfare. This well-known theoretical result is rarely presented as methodically and consistently as it is in this text."--Sitio Web de la editorial
