TradeVistas is an online publication of the Hinrich Foundation that offers a clear view on trade. It provides facts, context, stories and resources such as infographics, videos and briefing notes to help understand trade.
Trade touches just about every aspect of our daily lives. But as familiar as trade is, most people say they “don’t know enough” about trade practices and policies to decide whether they are helpful or harmful to their lives, jobs and to the growth of their economies. And few issues are as heated – or as fraught with conflicting information – as the current debate over trade.
TradeVistas offers readers a clear, non-partisan view on trade. It does not advocate for or against any particular trade policy. It aims to be your trusted resource for fact-based context on trade issues so that you can make your own, informed conclusions.
