| | Trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | January 1, 1995 World Trade Organization was created to facilitate free trade, by mandating mutual most favoured nation trading status between all signatories. | | | Proposed and practiced fair trade policies vary widely, ranging from the commonly adhered to prohibition of goods made using slave labour to minimum price support schemes such as those for coffee in the 1980s. | | | Although there are usually few trade restrictions within countries, international trade is usually regulated by governmental quotas and restrictions, and often taxed by tariffs. |

| | Historically high consumer debt levels, near record high budget deficits, and record trade and current account deficits are burdening households, tax payers, and the nation's economic future. | | | The high U.S. trade deficits are worrisome, since foreigners are indicating less willingness to finance them. | | | The U.S. trade deficit rose to an unprecedented $61.0 billion in February 2005, the Department of Commerce reported today. |

| | Cafe Hayek: Trade |
| | Of course, the United States is running a trade deficit (as it has done since 1976) – meaning that at least part of what foreigners spend their dollars on is not U.S. goods and services but, rather, dollar-denominated assets. | | | While it may not involve indebtedness, the obvious parallels [of a trade deficit to debt] are to spending more than you earn. | | | The U.S. trade deficit soared to a record in 2005 for the fourth year in a row, according to a government report released yesterday that provided a reminder of the dangers hovering over a generally robust economy. |

| | The U.S. trade deficit, which swelled to $66.1 billion in September, has grown further in the first nine months of this year compared with the same period in 2004. | | | One reason we had such a big trade deficit in the late 1990s was that we had a very high rate of investment--that, remember, was the period of the high-tech boom. | | | We used the term "trade deficit" in Saturday's story because that's a term most people are familiar with, and fortunately these days the current account is very close in size to the trade deficit. |
