Government policies are complex and the information we
receive about them is sometimes bias. Our text, Lamb, Hair, McDaniel (2013).
Marketing What’s Inside, paints a picture of increased prosperity for all
involved. I found a couple of web sites
that paint a very different picture. The links are below so rather than repeat
the information I will just summarize.
*The US was able to move jobs to lower cost Mexico.
Outsourcing.
*Mexico lost 1.3 million farm jobs because they couldn’t
compete with the low priced products coming from the U.S.
*Mexico environment deteriorated because the agribusiness
used more chemicals to try to increase crop outputs.
*Mexican truck travel is limited to 20 miles within the US
however, U.S. trucks, although they do not comply with restrictions imposed by
the Mexican government, have unlimited access across Mexico.
Does free trade mean fair trade? There are a lot of web
sites with a lot of information, you decide.
