CAFTA And Free Trade

Written during the “jobless recovery” of 2004, and based on dozens of interviews with recently laid-off workers across the country, film-maker Spotts applies a critical lens to the recently-signed Central American Free Trade Agreement and reveals broader truths about America’s risky position in the new global economy. Using easy-to-understand language, Greg Spotts shows how the rules of global commerce were developed to serve America’s biggest companies and are now being used to rapidly shift jobs offshore. He reveals a global economy based on bankrupt ideas and misleading claims, and suggests a couple of ways to remedy this appalling situation.
