Trade Deficit
written by Pete Murphy , July 20, 2009
Ricardo's principle of comparative advantage (the economic theory upon which the concept of free trade is based) is overly simplistic and flawed because it does not take into consideration the population density effect and what happens when two nations grossly disparate in population density attempt to trade freely in manufactured goods. While free trade in natural resources and free trade in manufactured goods between nations of roughly equal population density is indeed beneficial, just as Ricardo predicts, it’s a sure-fire loser when attempting to trade freely in manufactured goods with a nation with an excessive population density.

If you‘re interested in learning more about this important new economic theory, then I invite you to visit either of my web sites at OpenWindowPublishingCo.com or PeteMurphy.wordpress.com where you can read the preface, join in the blog discussion and, of course, buy the book if you like. (It's also available at Amazon.com.)

Please forgive me for the somewhat spammish nature of the previous paragraph, but I don't know how else to inject this new theory into the debate about trade without drawing attention to the book that explains the theory.

You don't know what you are talking about
written by Paul Maurice , July 04, 2009
American are free people. Nobody forces anyone do do anything. We tried protectionism it did not work. Americans don't buy Japanese and European cars because they hate America. They do not buy Italian shoes or French perfumes because they are charitable.
Blame everyone but ourselves and bring on DICTATORSHIP (telling the Gov what to buy) is the worst thing that can happen to America.

Let roll our sleeves, go back to our drawing boards and unleash our creativity, make better products and we will see the Mighty America shine.
YOU ARE NOT HELPING RIGHT NOW!!!!

CPA will hold its Second Annual Legislative Fly-In on March 2-4, 2010.  This is a powerful opportunity for us to work together to advance trade reform in the halls of Congress.  We need to bring the concerns of the grass roots to our legislators.

This is efficient advocacy, well worth your time.  We make all the meeting arrangements with legislators or their staff, we put together materials, we plan a message, and we pack meetings together in a concentrated period of time.  You make a bigger impact with your time using only three of the 365 days in the year.
