Why Politicians Lie About Trade is an insightful book by Dmitry Grozoubinski, a former Australian trade negotiator and diplomat now serving as Executive Director of the Geneva Trade Platform and founder of ExplainTrade. Drawing on his extensive experience negotiating complex trade deals at the WTO and other international forums, Grozoubinski reveals how trade policy discussions are often clouded by misinformation and political spin. The book demystifies how trade agreements and negotiations function, why politicians frequently distort facts for domestic political gain, and what citizens and stakeholders should understand to engage critically with ongoing trade debates. It also examines the impact of power asymmetries among nations, transparency issues, and the real effects of trade policy on economies.
