Using real world examples, case studies, economic analysis, and statistical examination, author Greg Mastel describes and analyzes the impact of dumping and the operation of antidumping laws in the steel, electronics, bearing, specialty steel, cement, and various agricultural industries, and makes the case that these laws have promoted the cause of free trade. The author also provides a detailed discussion of the implication of the new World Trade Organization (WTO) Antidumping Code for these laws and makes the case for continued aggressive use of antidumping laws.
