But hidden from view is the geopolitical wiring that allows global cross-border trade to happen at all: a network of treaties, tariffs, taxes and disputes that is remote and unintelligible to most people. Until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith clear, often humorous writing and case studies, former trade negotiator Dmitry Grozoubinski takes readers through the intricacies and surprises of global commerce. He reveals the underlying political and geographical forces that shape trade policy and our everyday lives. He spells out the impact of trade treaties on topics such as food, jobs, gender, conflict and climate. And he reveals what politicians cover up about the system - and why it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA companion to books such as How to Lie With Statistics, WHY POLITICIANS LIE ABOUT TRADE illuminates a much misunderstood and underestimated network that is vital to our modern interconnected world. With the US-China trade war, Brexit, and other disputes regularly hitting the headlines (and sometimes our nerves), grasping how trade actually works has never been more important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'I laughed more than I do in most comedies. I learned more than I do from the news. An absolute masterclass in how to communicate complex information simply and compellingly.
