Rethinking Trade Policy December 15, 2009

Host: Cato Institute. The proliferation of cross-border investment, disaggregated production processes, and transnational supply chains have blurred the distinctions between “our” producers and “their” producers. When the definition of an American car defies consensus or when the largest U.S. steel producer is a majority-Indian-owned firm with headquarters in Europe or when “Buy American” provisions punish U.S.-based companies, then the time has come to reexamine our premises. Join us for a panel discussion featuring Edward Gresser, Senior Fellow, Democratic Leadership Council; Daniel Ikenson, Associate Director, Center for Trade Policy Studies, Cato Institute; and Philip I. Levy, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute.
