EXPORTING JOBS, IMPORTING ECONOMIC MYTHS: It's good to see someone responding to myth that free trade is primarily responsible for exporting jobs overseas. William Anderson over at Mises.org does a good job dispelling it here.

Of particular interest was his criticism of some trade-related articles by Paul Craig Roberts, a commentator and Reagan administration veteran I admire. I've also noted Roberts' apparent turn toward protectionism in the pages of ESR.
