Trade Myths: Globalization has left trade balances behind (Revised 2009 edition)
Why American trade deficits don’t threaten American
workers—but politicians do.
Author: Enzio von Pfeil
Politicians use trade balances measured using an
approach created during Leonardo da Vinci's life. Enzio von Pfeil unmasks this dangerous anachronism and the myths that it spawns to justify protectionism. Using a state-of-the-art approach, he calculates America's huge global trade surplus - and warns against a new, dangerous form of protectionism directed at the overseas operations of American multinational corporations (MNCs), large and small. He wonders why these MNCs are financing the campaigns of some of the very politicians who are threatening their overseas operations.
Born in Namibia and raised in America, Germany and England, Enzio von Pfeil studied under Friedich von Hayek and got his Ph.D. in economics, then worked for the world’s three leading banks of their day. Formerly chief regional economist for leading London-based investment banks in Hong Kong, von Pfeil is now an independent investment adviser and a regular contributor to Bloomberg Television and to CNBC Asia. His investment advice is constantly updated at www.EconomicClock.com.
