The politics of trade in NZ

Trade has lifted more people out of poverty than almost anything else. So why is trade so political these days? Some of the left and the right have ended up in the same place – anti-establishment, anti trade deals, anti the World Trade Organisations (WTO) and pro subsidies (the left for solar panels and electric cars, the right for farming and fishing).

To look at the politics of trade, Josie Pagani is joined by Business Desk Editor Pattrick Smellie, CTU’s Sam Huggart, and Economist Peter Fraser for the latest podcast in the ‘On the Map’ series.
