Marketplace Commentary

by Will Wilkinson on October 22, 2007

I was on Marketplace Morning Edition this morning, providing a commentary on America’s dismal attitude toward trade.

If you’re reading this, you know my blog is not in fact theflybottle.com. And I really need to get my Cato picture updated.

This was my first shot at this sort of thing. Please tell me what you think…

    I listened to npr this morning and really liked your piece. So much that I remembered your name so I could come here look this up and forward to a few friends. Great work.

    Your Cato picture is better.
  • Nice job. I was interested to learn that the world opinion of trade was so high. I'm familiar with the fatility of protectionism, but it was nice to get a take on the psychological reasons for Americans distrust of free trade. Enjoy the site...just added you to my blogroll.

    I have worked in International Trade and Retail for 10 years, with an emphasis on business in China. I very much enjoyed your story and agree with your point of view.

    I have since ahared your site with several business associates and friends alike. Keep up the good work!

    Short, concise, and insightful. I'd like to hear more from you on Marketplace and other NPR programs. Thank you!
  • I agree.

    I'd have preferred if you'd been able to say something more than "protectionism doesn't protect" to dispel the fallacies in the anti-trade fears, but I realize that time was short so you focused on the psychological aspect more than the economics.

    But, the point was good and you did a great job delivering it.
  • I think you did a great job!
