New Defending Globalization Content: Globalization and Women and Economists’ Changing Views on Trade and Development

Scott Lincicome

Earlier this week, we published two new essays for Cato’s Defending Globalization project:

“Globalization Helps Women Thrive,” by Christine McDaniel, explains that trade and foreign investment have boosted economic opportunity, living standards, and equality for women around the world.

“Changing the Trade and Development Consensus,” by Douglas Irwin, examines the process by which economists Ian Little, Jagdish Bhagwati, Anne Krueger, and Béla Balassa came to reach similar conclusions about trade regimes and economic performance in developing countries.

This content joins 40 other essays and additional multimedia features on the main Defending Globalization project page.

Be sure to check it all out and stay tuned for future releases.
