I dont know if you understood what i was implying in that little brain of your, but i will rephrase it for those who are too stupid too understand. I know your country's name is USA (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA).... but im simply trying to point out that your nation is OF a greater part of a sector in this continent.... it doesnt comprise the whole thing!
Again, tuahananhahnahan whatever your name is......i feel like im talking to a child.,.....read the fucking thread

People people people ... first of all, a country ISN'T gonna sign an agreement or a treaty if it does not benefit them!!! Do you think the people of south america are so stupid that they would sign the FTAA if it were to RUIN their economies? Let's use some common sense here.
Second of all, someone please explain to me how free trade is bad??? In the four years of my economics major, not ONE book has said that taxes, tarrifs, or trade barriers have had ONE positive economic benefit. As a matter of fact, the failure of such policies are evident in the early 20th century. So can someone please explain to me the disadvantages of free trade??? And if you aren't going to back up your argument with sound economic theory then don't even bother responding.

how about you do another four years in social sciences and come back to say the exact same thing. I'm pretty sure the books will criticize free trade big time. its all about perspective.

I don't see what social sciences has to do with economics ... especially since the topic at hand is ECONOMICS. Well if you disagree, then please explain to me how trade barriers are good??? I would especially like to see this since every economist I have talked to, and virtually every economic textbook has disagreed.
Edit: And please ... if you're going to quote from social science textbooks explaining how trade barriers are good please provide sources.
