Global trade and Europe

In this episode of The Sound of Economics we focus on trade
multilateralism. What are the advantages of a multilateral
approach to trade, and what are the risks? What challenges is the
global trade system facing, and how should Europe react?
Bruegel’s André Sapir explains the benefits of multilateral trade
agreements, and calls on society’s to find ways to compensate
those who lose out. Arancha González, executive director of the
International Trade Center, makes a strong case against
protectionsism. Petra Pinzler, journalist and author, highlights
the weaknesses in some narrow economic thinking about trade and
argues for better quality trade agreements that empower states.
And Guntram Wolff, Bruegel’s director, discusses Europe’s place
in the multilateral trade system. #Trade #Europe #Protectionism
