C. Donald Johnson, director emeritus of the Dean Rusk International Law Center at the University of Georgia School of Law, will examine the history of trade politics, the focus of his new book in a lecture on April 17 at 4 p.m. in the large event space of the Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries.
Amid breaking news reports of the federal government’s order for new tariffs on Chinese imports and a potential trade war, Johnson’s book, The Wealth of a Nation: A History of Trade Politics in America, offers a look back at trade over the course of the last century.
Open free to the public, the lecture will be followed immediately by a light reception and book signing. The program is co-sponsored by the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies and the Dean Rusk International Law Center.
