(11/12/2015) Now that the TPP text has been released, I have read at least some parts of it in detail. It seems to me that it does what the negotiators said it does. There is a lot to like in the way it came out that many of the critics seem not to know about. I hope that those Democrats who have been fervently opposed to the TPP — in particular some of the Massachusetts congressional delegation — will now consider it with an open mind!
I have an op-ed appearing in the Boston Globe this week, making the case.
I don’t discuss the currency manipulation issue there, but have done so elsewhere.
