"A compelling case that foreign trade is an overall good for the United States . . . Hochberg's arguments carry the day." --Crain's Business New York, "Think a trade war with China and the rest of the world doesn't impact you? Think again. Fred Hochberg shows how much free trade shapes your everyday life--and what would happen if it disappeared--in this fascinating journey through the trade networks that make our lives possible. It's the only book on trade you'll ever need to read." --Ana Navarro, CNN Political Strategist, "A vigorous case for foreign trade in both goods and services . . . [Hochberg] effec­tively debunks many myths about trade, including the misguided belief that bilateral trade deficits are harm­ful. His book is an easy and enjoyable read, drawing predominately on American examples but applicable to many other countries, as well." -- Foreign Affairs, "Hochberg has written an expert defense of trade while also explaining the myths that have clouded our understanding of the ways in which trade fits into everyday life . . . . An accessible, necessary book that will increase our understanding of trade and economic policies and the ways in which they impact our daily lives. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal (starred review), "If you want to understand the importance of global trade to a vibrant U.S. economy, read this book!" --David Rubenstein, Co-Executive Chairman, The Carlyle Group, "At a time when trade is under fierce assault, Fred Hochberg makes a strong and effective case for its importance and value. A timely book with an important message." --Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies and three-term mayor of New York, "Hochberg knows what he is talking about. . . . Free of equivocation and jargon, he explains how trade works in simple and direct language." -- Inside Higher Ed, "By turns practical and insightful, Fred's indefatigable spirit, sound judgement, and depth of experience shine through in Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word . Throughout his unique upbringing and accomplished career, which spanned a period of profound political and economic change, Fred set a standard of leadership and level-headed collaboration while dealing with the complex issues around global trade and the many ways it impacts our day-to-day lives. And these meaningful lessons about trade apply to all of us--in business and in life." --Jamie Dimon, Chairman & CEO, JP Morgan Chase, "Fred Hochberg knows what he is talking about. As a former Chairman and President of the US Export-Import Bank, he has seen firsthand how trade is mutually beneficial, not a zero-sum game. In this appealing and engaging book, Hochberg makes a compelling case for trade as a driver of global prosperity, innovation, economic resilience, good jobs, and a higher quality of life for billions of people across the globe. I particularly enjoyed his account of how trade helps empower women--seen clearly in the story of his own mother, who became a successful entrepreneur because she was one of the first people to appreciate the benefits of US-China economic links. I highly recommend this book." -- Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank and former Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, "[A] quip-filled and illuminating debut . . . Lay readers looking to reach a more informed opinion on trade policy would do well to pick up this nuanced and approachable account." -- Publishers Weekly, "Fred Hochberg has done something that, while not impossible, is difficult and rare. He has written about world economic realities in a way that is sophisticated and also accessible, serious but also funny and light. From student to business owner--from employee worried about future jobs, to mayors or governors encouraging those future jobs--readers across a broad range will learn a lot from this book." --James Fallows, co-author of Our Towns, "Written by a uniquely qualified expert, this is a witty, enjoyable book that makes clear the great benefits--but difficult politics and policy choices--of international trade." --Frederick W. Smith, Founder and CEO, FedEx Corporation, " Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word is a clear-eyed, informative defense of the importance of free trade. If you've ever wondered what makes it possible to enjoy all the products that make daily life possible, this book is for you. And if you haven't thought about trade, this engaging book will make trade a fascinating subject, one that you never knew you were interested in." --Indra Nooyi, former CEO of Pepsi-Co
