Stiglitz is an open anti American liberal communist with positions like Krugmans. Global trade, intranational trade, and interpersonal trade works best when free buyers and sellers are free to buy and sell to raise their standard of living as they see fit.

The imports could not be used for production of goods sold domestically"

"In mid-1990's Korea reduced tariff rates and import restriction on autos, high tech products and financial services."
