Summarize Argument
The author concludes that the North American Free Trade Agreement is misnamed. As evidence, the author points to the principles outlined by Adam Smith, under which any obstacle placed in the way of free movement of goods, investment, or labor defeats free trade. Applying these principles to NAFTA, the author observes that, since under the agreement workers would be restricted by national boundaries, the NAFTA would not result in truly free trade.
Describe Method of Reasoning
The author criticizes the North American Free Trade Agreement as being misnamed because of the restrictions the agreement would place on workers. He does this by citing to the principles articulated by the economist Adam Smith.
