Mehr Wohlstand durch weniger Agrarfreihandel

Economist Mathias Binswanger gets rid of the myth of free trade resulting in increasing prosperity: Many farmers in developing as well as industrial countries experience tremendous disadvantages. Solely those working on large farms (along with international businesses) can be considered winners. The negative effects of agricultural free trade are highest in developing countries (where the majority of the population is made up of small farmers), although – theoretically – they should be profiting from it the most.
