Introducing....

Hi, this blog will be a platform and forum to present the ideas and evidence supporting the concept of Fair and Free Trade. It will also invite constructive criticism to test its viability and relevance.

Here are two characters, who at one time would have been poles apart ideologically, to act as guides - Fred and Frank . Fred (left) has long been a Socialist and Frank was an uncompromising Monetarist. Recent World history has seen socialism and monetarism, in their extreme forms, fail dramatically. Countries that combine the best parts of these ideologies appear to be do better and that is where the title of this blog, Fair and Free Trade, comes in. Frank and Fred now agree with FFT and they will explain why at times as best they can. Hopefully, they will  persuade you too and enough people act to make changes to restore economies that are failing.
