Free Trade – Is It Fair Trade? Why Isn’t China Rich? | Damir Novotny & Dan Mitchell

In this panel discussion and Q&A, the speakers examine the relationship between free exchange, fair trade, economic growth, and prosperity. The conversation addresses one of the central questions in international economics: if free markets are powerful engines of poverty reduction and development, why are some countries — including China — still not as rich as many expected?

Under the theme “Free Trade – Is It Fair Trade?”, the discussion explores trade policy, protectionism, global competition, economic incentives, and the institutions needed for long-term growth. Novotny and Mitchell offer different perspectives on how open markets can create prosperity — and where political narratives about fairness, trade deficits, and industrial policy can become misleading.
