Why Politicians Lie About Trade is a comprehensive guide to understanding the complex world of international trade. Written by a former trade negotiator, the book offers clear writing and lively case studies that take readers on an often humorous tour of the agreements, tariffs, taxes, and disputes that characterize this $32 trillion-a-year machine. Dmitry Grozoubinski, the author, reveals the underlying political and geographical forces that shape the impact of trade on topics as diverse as food, jobs, gender, conflict, and climate change. He also exposes what politicians cover up about the system and why it matters.

The book is a valuable companion to other titles that explain commerce, such as the Undercover Economist, Taxtopia, and Freakonomics. It has been enthusiastically recommended by serious publications such as the Financial Times and the World Trade Review, as well as popular authors such as Ian Dunt and James O'Brien. Ian Dunt wrote that he laughed more than he does in most comedies and learned more than he does from the news.

In conclusion, Why Politicians Lie About Trade is a must-read for anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of international trade and engaging more actively in trade policy debates. It is a comprehensive, accessible, and entertaining guide that will appeal to a wide range of readers.
