If recession drags on and Americans continue to blame trade agreements – erroneously – for growing unemployment, falling wages, and yawning inequality, opposition to these deals will grow. Instead of waiting for the pressure to mount, the next president would do well to preempt it with an ambitious agenda on free-trade reform that would benefit everyone.
如果经济衰退延长，并且美国人继续错误地将不断上升的失业率，工资下降以及不平等加剧归咎于贸易协议，那么，反对这些协议的力量就会增强。下任美国总统用一个能惠及每个人的宏伟自由贸易改革计划，来预防压力的增加，而不是等待压力的增加，会取得很好的效果。
