GOOD BUDDIES - "FREE TRADE" AND MARXISM

Thanks to our colleage at The ChesterBelloc Mandate, we have an 2001 article from K. Bolton. She wrote for the New Zealand-based magazine Critical Review.

Her article goes into the background on why - of all people - Karl Marx and theoretical Marxism likes the libertarian ideology of so-called "free trade". It will surprise you.

It is another reason why Distributism supports "fair trade", flexible tariffs and continual negotiations between countries on trade matters. It also opposes schemes like the World Trade Organization (WTO), which would dictate what trade policies countries can and can't have.

The Review encourages all our readers worldwide to keep working to get their homelands out of the WTO for good, as well as fight any proposed "free trade" policies their governments propose.
