This book brings together several essays on the current state of
the theory of international trade. As the book's title
suggests, the essays are critical of several major components of
the existing theory; thus, the Ricardian principle of comparative
advantage, the ancient and widely accepted belief that
international free trade is potentially beneficial for all
countries, and the more recently developed normative analysis of
international transfers (foreign aid, war indemnities) are shown
to be seriously defective.
