A note on the ethics of free trade
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 November 2005
Abstract
Arguments against free trade are often couched in ethical terms. They usually describe the plight of those who lose from free trade, but seldom consider the costs of protectionism. This essay examines free trade from the perspective of several important ethical theories and concludes that free trade is consistent with each of them.
