Democrats Should Back Free Trade

by Jeffrey D. Sachs

Reprinted from the Wall Street Journal

In their party's great tradition, Democrats in Congress should throw their support behind freer trade by backing trade-promotion authority for the Bush administration. The Democratic Party was a veritable engine of globalization in the 20th century -- from Woodrow Wilson's vision of a peaceful world united under democracy and free trade, to FDR's initiation of trade liberalization in the Great Depression, to Harry Truman's postwar launch of multilateral trade under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, to JFK's call for deep tariff reductions, to Bill Clinton's completion of the Uruguay Round and founding of the World Trade Organization. To abandon this philosophy now on behalf of narrow special interests would jeopardize the party, the U.S. economy, and global security at a pivotal moment of recession and the war on terrorism.
