Watchdog.org Podcast

By Eric Boehm and Ben Yount | Watchdog Radio This is Behind the Headlines, Watchdog.org’s podcast that takes a deeper look at the political news of the day. In this week’s episode, hosts Eric Boehm and Ben Yount take a look at free trade and how it has made the world a better place by providing access to cheap goods. The goal of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free trade deal being worked out by the United States, China and other nations, is to make sure that flow of goods can continue.  But free trade deals aren't always what they seem. Then, Donald Boudreaux from the Mercatus Center stops by the program to go a little deeper into why the TPP matters and to dissolve some of the common misconceptions about the deal.
