Editorial Reviews

A former congressional advisor to US trade negotiators examines the goals, operation, and history of US laws against imports priced at less than their price in the home market or less than their cost of production. The first such law was passed in 1916 and the existing framework adopted in 1921. Mastel looks at several specific industries including electronics and agriculture, and proposes a strategy for using the laws to promote US trade and economic objectives in the regulated global market.
