Global Economics - Global Exchange: Free Trade & Protection
July 2006 Societies have traded for thousands of years. However, the last 35 years have seen an explosion in world trade. How has this global integration affected the world's economy and individual markets and how are the overall gains of world trade distributed?

Free Trade: The Great Prosperity Machine
What does trade do? Comparative advantage is the foundation of the division of labor and exchange, but it's rarely understood. "The Great Prosperity Machine" explodes the absurdities of protectionist dogmas by showing what trade accomplishes -- prosperity and peace.

Free Trade vs. Protectionism
According to Prof. Don Boudreaux, free trade is nothing more than a system of trade that treats foreign goods and services no differently than domestic goods and services. Protectionism, on the other hand, is a system of trade that discriminates against foreign goods and services in an attempt to favor domestic goods and services. In theory, free trade outperforms protectionism by bringing lower cost goods and services to consumers. In practice, the benefits of free trade can be seen in countries like America and Hong Kong. Both countries have a relatively high degree of free trade, and, as a consequence, have experienced an explosion of wealth. Watch more videos: lrnlbty.co

Pros and cons of US free-trade deals
The US congress has approved free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama, ending a four-year drought in the forming of new trade partnerships. Supporters of the deals say it will help stimulate the economy and put more than 20000 people back to work in the United States. However, there are fears it will not be good for all concerned. Al Jazeera's Andy Gallacher reports from Miami, Florida.

Milton Friedman - Free Trade vs. Protectionism
Watch Friedman completely own this protectionist at 1:52. From Part 2 of the 1980 PBS Series ''Free to Choose''. Friedman puts forth one of the best arguments you will ever hear for why special government protection of select domestic industries hurts every other industry and every consumer. Truly free enterprise treats all businesses in all industries equally, which provides the highest quality and lowest prices, and therefore maximizes living standards and economic growth.

America's Roundtable: Maurice McTigue - Death Tax, Free Trade, Transparency and Accountability (2)
The inheritance tax (death tax) was abolished in New Zealand. The Honorable Maurice McTigue, reformer and former cabinet minister in New Zealand provides a principled approach to the tax system as an efficient and effective government revenue making mechanism with minimal distortion to decision making. Mr. McTigue states that at the same time competitiveness of the economy needs to be improved. He also discusses the need for fairness of the tax system, the experiences of the countries that introduced simple flat tax and improved investment climate. Mr. McTigue was one of the architects of the US Transparency and Accountability Act addresses the need to increase transparency which is an important part of holding the government and its agencies accountable. Public spending by federal government, local governments and government entities such as school boards have to be made public. Citizens, journalist groups and civil society groups would benefit from greater transparency. Mr. McTigue also emphasizes that the debt situation and liabilities - real and contingent - at all government levels have to be disclosed. Mr. McTigue also discusses the benefits of free trade, making a compelling case for the the needs and preferences of consumers rather than protecting industries.

euronews I talk - I talk discusses free trade agreements
www.euronews.com Which countries should Europe be trading with? Free trade agreements create jobs and offer new markets, but is it always positive? Your questions are answered today by Jürgen Klute, a member of parliament in Brussels, and a Member of the Economic and Monetary Committee. The first question came from Laurent from Belgium: *"My question is, you negotiate with countries like Colombia and Honduras. How do you justify these free trade agreements with countries that don't always respect human rights? Don't you think these agreements worsen the situation?"* Jürgen Klute: "Essentially, we are not against trade but it depends on the circumstances. This question contains an important criticism, respecting human rights. There is a human rights clause in the agreements, but the problem for me - and the parliament - is how these clauses are carried out and observed? At the moment, the clauses are better and stricter. But in the past the Commission never wanted to risk breaking trade relations." Alex Taylor: Who's judging it? Who says, 'this one respects human rights and that one doesn't?'" Jürgen Klute: "That's a big question. We suggest that civil society organisations have to be involved; unions, human rights groups and so on. But ultimately they should report their findings to the Commission and the Commission has to verify and react. But that's exactly what it hasn't done until now. The Commission, for a long time had the chance, to halt trade relations - until <b>...</b>

Be Your Own Souvenir!
_This proposal aims to connect street users, arts and science, linking them to under-laying spaces and their own realities. The installation was enjoyed during two weekends in January 2011 by the tourists, neighbours of La Rambla and citizens of Barcelona, a city that faces a trade-off between identity and gentrification, economic sustainability and economic growth.
_This shapes through a technological ritual where the audience is released from established roles in a perspective exchange: spectator-performer, artist-tourist, observer-object.
_The user becomes the producer as well as the consumer through a system that invites him/her to perform as a human statue, with a free personal souvenir as a reward: a small figure of him/herself printed three-dimensionally from a volumetric reconstruction of the person generated by the use of three structured light scanners (kinect).
_The project mimics the informal artistic context of this popular street, human sculptures and craftsmen, bringing diverse realities and enabling greater empathy between the agents that cohabit in the public space.
_Dataflow
All the software used in this project is free and open. Custom software has been developed using openFrameworks and openKinect in order to produce a tunable full 360 degree point cloud. Using a midi controller, the three differents input pointclouds (3 Kinects) can be adjusted in space and resolution. The resulting combined point cloud is processed by Meshlab to produce a mesh reconstruction. Skeinforge takes the mesh, previously cleaned up through Blender, and outputs a gcode file, which can feed a cnc machine (Rapman 3.1).
_Special thanks to
Ramon Parramon for mentoring the project with wise ideas
Dolors Juarez and Antònia del Río, for all their tough paper work and support
Dago for his help and kindness
Marta Vilardell for being patient

The Good Slaughter: A Proud Meat Cutter Shares His Processing Floor
“My hope is that my children will have the same passion for this as I do…”
Meet Larry Althiser, the owner and head meat cutter for Larry’s Custom Meats in Hartwick, NY, a small farming community in the Northern Catskills. Larry takes pride in his slaughterhouse. He’s been butchering and processing animals for over 30 years, learning through hard work his philosophy on the right way to slaughter animals so we can eat.
I spent two days upstate with Larry at his brand new processing plant to learn firsthand how animals become food – a rare opportunity to tell the story of transparency in the meat industry. Truth be told, I was very, very anxious going into this shoot. The night before, I tossed and turned in my bed, restless for hours. I just wasn’t sure if I was ready to see the whole process, to film what I’d been shy to film for years. But, I had to do it. It’s a story I wanted to tell, a good story about a proud butcher open to teaching his trade, and a story I felt compelled to share with many others, like me, who didn’t want to be disconnected to their food any longer.

The Story of Cap & Trade
The Story of Cap & Trade is a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the leading climate solution being discussed at Copenhagen and on Capitol Hill. Host Annie Leonard introduces the energy traders and Wall Street financiers at the heart of this scheme and reveals the "devils in the details" in current cap and trade proposals: free permits to big polluters, fake offsets and distraction from what’s really required to tackle the climate crisis. If you’ve heard about Cap & Trade, but aren’t sure how it works (or who benefits), this is the film is for you.

F.A.T. Lab: Fuck Google Week Wrap Up
For information on how to make your own Google Street View car go to: http://fffff.at/google-street-view-car
Information on F.A.T.'s Fuck Google Week as follows:
Transmediale 2010 “Futurity now!”
February 2nd – 7th, 2010
Berlin, Germany
Google is the most popular site on the world wide web. Since Larry Page and Sergey Brin opened the Menlo Park doors of their corporate office in 1998, Google has grown to be much more than just the defacto information search utility for the web. Beyond having over 150 domains, dozens of web, browser and desktop apps, a number of the most popular sites on the web (like YouTube), partnerships with multimedia conglomerates and multinational telecoms, one spy satellite and a mysterious network of telecommunication infrastructure, Google has become a new word in the international lexicon. I Googled it. 구글했다. Je l’ai googlelé. Jeg googlede det. ググった。 Eu Googled isso. Ich hab’s gegoogled. मॅँ googled है. Yo googleo.
Google, Ergo Sum.
But, it wasn’t always easy streets for the kindly, corporate giant. Shining a light into the darkness of the early web was not as simple as it looked. It took patience, a “don’t be evil” mantra, football fields of high-end office furniture, and millions and millions of ads. As F.A.T. Lab fellows Randy Sarafan and Geraldine Juárez, wrote in their tell-all, Google, biopic entitled, Lost and Found:
“Webrings just wouldn’t work… Information needed to be freed and shopping needed to be accessible. There could only ever be one pets.com. Exoticpets.com, rarepets.com, rareexoticpets.com, and rareexoticpetfood.com would all be outposts in the wilderness without a road to lead you there. Google’s benevolent hands built that road. And they built millions of other roads. And then they lined these roads with billboards. And with the money they made on these billboards, they built entire cities of industry. And within these cities, they erected more billboards. And pretty soon, Google, the mere builder of roads, owned half of the frontier, which was no longer a frontier, but a megalopolis without borders.”
So, what is so “fuck-worthy” about Mother-google? It is the fact that a corporate entity, even one as beloved and competent as Google, is in control of such a large stake in the digital network and public utility upon which we have all grown so reliant. And, that as a publicly traded company, it doesn’t have to answer to anyone but its largest shareholders, despite the fact that its decisions effect the lives and private information of millions of people. Few even question or raise a voice in opposition to the Google-ification of the Internet.
Don’t get us wrong, we use Google too. We use search, blog search, gmail, YouTube, calendar, docs, analytics, maps, etc. We use them like we do the sidewalk or a public toilets when we have to take a piss: because it feels like there just isn’t any other option. Sure, there are alternatives to Google. But, they mostly suck. And to not use Google means to lose access to an enormous network and some of the most reliable tools on the Internet.
That is why for Transmediale 2010, F.A.T. Lab proposes ‘FuckGoogle’, a collection of browser add-ons, open source software, theoretical musings and direct actions aimed at creating an awareness of the role Google plays in our daily lives. Throughout the duration of Transmediale, F.A.T. members and friends will publish free software, live streams, communiques and video documentation of actions on the fffff.at blog. So, join us and let’s all FuckGoogle together. By the way, does anyone have Sergey’s email or home address?

Ridley sat down with Reason's Kennedy to discuss his thoughts on free trade, ideas having sex and the irrationality of apocalyptic science. About 7 minutes. Filmed by Anthony Fisher and Jim Epstein. Edited by Joshua Swain.

President Obama pushes for an Asia-Pacific free trade agreement, which would be the biggest US pact since the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement. This creates a free trade area. We break down what that means, and remember the old saying 'there's no such thing as a free lunch'? Well, that applies here. So we also break down the costs.
