As you know, it is a rarity for the mainstream media to give serious attention to the case against free trade, let alone to the actual economics, i.e. David Ricardo, comparative advantage, etc.
 
But BloombergBusinessWeek has just run an article doing just that:
 
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-26/six-reasons-for-u-s-to-drop-free-trade-myth-commentary-by-ian-fletcher.html
 
The bigger the public response they get, the more likely they are to take this issue seriously in future.
 
The editor to write to is James Greiff at jgreiff at bloomberg.net; thanks in advance for your help!
 
Best Regards,
