Talk:Free trade

Research notes and checks (24 October 2026)

The following points about this article's sources still need checking:

The opening definition is a plain summary; the protectionism sentence is from Dullien note 45.
Bhagwati note 26 (Peel and the Corn Laws, 1846) has an approximate page (±2) and is paraphrased.
The European Free Trade Association is still an active organisation; it is named as a free trade area from the book. Please confirm. The European Union is also named.
Dullien et al. is cited as Routledge 2018, ISBN 9781138185180 (paperback, from the copyright page). Perlego lists it as 2017 with ISBN 9781317289654; check the print copy.
Bhagwati is cited as Princeton University Press, 2014 (Perlego listing); the copyright page was not opened, so the year is unconfirmed and no original date (about 1991) is cited. Page numbers are approximate (reader counter minus 8, ±1; some ±2) and need checking against print. Bhagwati is a living author: he is used only as a source, never as a subject.
No |location= or access-date is cited.
Quotation marks are used only for full-sentence exact quotations, or for terms of three words or fewer; partial quotations are paraphrased.
Neutral tone: opinions are attributed. No living people are the subject; no companies, political parties or current products are named. Family-friendly content only.
The category Category:Economy has not been checked against the live wiki, nor have the See also links.
All notes cited are marked 'Not checked' against the printed book.
