Free Trade: What Now? by Jagdish Bhagwati This Is the Text Of
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Free Trade: What Now? By Jagdish Bhagwati This is the text of the Keynote Address delivered at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, on 25th May 1998, on the occasion of the International Management Symposium at which the 1998 Freedom Prize of the Max Schmidheiny Foundation was awarded. Ever since Adam Smith invented the case for free trade over two centuries ago in The Wealth of Nations, and founded in the same great work the science of Economics as we know it today, international economists have been kept busy defending free trade. A popular children’s story in the United States, by Dr. Seuss, has the refrain “And the cat came back”. The opponents of free trade, ranging from hostile protectionists to the mere skeptics, have kept coming back with ever new objections. The critiques we have had to confront have often come from those who fail to understand the essential insight of Adam Smith: that it pays me to specialize on what I do best compared to you, even though I can do everything better than you do. Economists call this the Law of Comparative Advantage: each nation would profit from noncoercive free trade that would lead to such specialization. When asked by the famous mathematician Ulam: “What is the most counterintuitive result in Economics?”, the Nobel laureate Paul Samuelson chose this Law as his candidate.1 Skeptics within Economics But the most compelling skeptics have come repeatedly from within the discipline of Economics itself.

IMPORTANT INDIAN ECONOMISTS K.N.RAJ(1924-2010)  Kakkadan Nandanath Raj Was Born in Thrissur District of Kerala on 13 May 1924
IMPORTANT INDIAN ECONOMISTS K.N.RAJ(1924-2010) Kakkadan Nandanath Raj was born in Thrissur District of Kerala on 13 May 1924. He is popularly known as K. N. Raj, an Indian economist who played an important role in India's planned development. He drafted sections of India's first Five Year Plan, specifically the introductory chapter when he was only 26 years old. He took B.A. from the prestigious Madras Christian College. He was a disciple of a well-distinguished economist Malcom Adiseshiah at Madras Christian College. His teacher pressed for him to go for higher studies in London School of Economics. His thesis was on the monetary policy of India's central bank. Raj was a companion of distinguished economists like Manmohan Singh, Amartya Sen and Jagdish Bhagwati. He was a veteran economist in the Planning Commission and worked out a plan to raise India's rate of savings in the post- Second World War period when the country was in need of foreign aid. . He computed India's Balance of Payments for the first time for the Reserve Bank of India. Raj was an advisor to several prime ministers from Jawaharlal Nehru to P.V. Narasimha Rao. Dr. Raj was a Keynesian economist. He studied the application of Keynesian monetary theory in Indian context. Although he was a staunch leftist, he was a critical of Lenin's ideas of the State. Like all other Leftists, he opposed to the economic liberalisation in India. Raj joined Delhi University, where he was Professor of Economics and also Vice- Chancellor (from October 1969 to December 1970), spending a total of 18 years there.

US Trade Policy: the Infatuation with Ftas by Jagdish Bhagwati
US Trade Policy: The Infatuation with FT As by Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University April 1995 Discussion Paper Series No. 726 1 Forthcoming in: Claude Barfield (ed.), The Dangerous Obsession with Free Trade Areas, AEI, 1995. US Trade Policy: The Infatuation with FTAs by Jagdish Bhagwati Arthur Lehman Professor of Economics & Professor of Political Science Columbia University * This paper draws on remarks made at the American Economic Association meetings, January 1995, in Washington D.C., at a Panel Discussion on the Clinton administration's trade policy. I have retained much of the informal style of the discussion. The US administration is poised to expand NAFTA to Chile and elsewhere. It also may be committed to turning APEC into a Free Trade Area (FTA). It seems therefore to have decided to persist in pushing ahead with these types of trading arrangements even though the multilateral WTO has been jumpstarted. I believe that this policy of, indeed obsession with further expansion and creation of FT As, instead of concentration now on multilateralism at the WTO, is a mistake. Let me explain why. Orwellian Newspeak At the outset, let me say that it is time that we realized that the phrase Free Trade Areas is Orwellian newspeak. It lulls us, indeed editorialists and columnists and politicians, into focusing only on the fact that trade barriers are lowered for members to the exclusion of the fact that, implicitly, the barriers are raised (relatively) for nonmembers. FT As are therefore two-faced: they embody both free trade and protection. The reason is that they are inherently preferential and discriminatory.

Democracy and Development: New Thinking on an Old Question
Democracy and Development: New Thinking on an Old Question by Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University April 1995 (Revised February 1995) Discussion Paper Series No. 727 Democracy and Development: New Thinking on an Old Question by Jagdish Bhagwati Revised: February 1995 This is the text of the Rajiv Gandhi Golden Jubilee Memorial Lecture, delivered in New Delhi on 22nd October 1994. It is the first of a set of four Lectures on the occasion of the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's 50th Anniversary, followed by Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev and John Kenneth Galbraith. Table of Contents New versus Old Thinking Echoes of Old Thinking The Old View: The "Cruel Dilemma" Thesis Democracy and Development: Bedfellows? (A) Ideology 1. Democracies at Peace Among Themselves 2. "Safety Valve" versus "Bottling Up" (B) Structure The Quality of Democracy and The Quality of Development Improving Democracy: Technology and NGOs Democracy and Markets 3 The occasion of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's 50th anniversary is an apt time to recall India's longstanding democracy: a phenomenon almost unique at one time among the developing countries and a source of legitimate pride to our leaders and our people. New versus Old Thinking It is also a fitting occasion to affirm the new thinking on the relationship between democracy and development, more sanguine and optimistic now, that has replaced the old thinking, more despondent and pessimistic then. Many subscribed to the view then (for reasons that I shall presently discuss) that democracy definitely came at the expense of development, so that one had to choose between doing good and doing well.
