Join Gavin Fridell and Patrick Clark as they discuss their new book, Trade Fetishism, which argues trade not only meets material goals, but also works as a fantasy that seeks to satisfy and soothe our unconscious desires and anxieties. Countering the idea that trade is predominantly about rational economic goals, they argue trade is equally about non-rational or symbolic goals. Trade agreements are often “fetishized” : offered up as near-magical solutions to complex problems, even if they perpetually disappoint.
