International business not restrained by government interference or regulation, such as duties. see also antitrust laws, trade.
A situation in which there are no artificial barriers to trade, such as tariffs and NTBs. Usually used, often only implicitly, with frictionless trade, so that it implies that there are no barriers to trade of any kind. For a traded homogeneous product, it follows that domestic and world price must be equal.
means the buying or selling of goods and services across international borders with few or no restrictions (see also protectionism)
International trade that is unhampered by restrictive measures such as tariffs or non-tariff barriers. An ideal concept that plays a role in economic theory similar to that of the "perfect vacuum" in physics, since, except within economic unions, virtually no international trade is genuinely free of governmental interference. In practical terms, trade policy deliberations in all countries do not normally concern questions of whether free trade should be pursued, but rather of how much and what kind of government intervention is needed to serve the national interest. See also fair trade.
This means that there are no barriers to trade between and among countries. Countries with free trade do not have many rules and guidelines that make it hard or impossible for them to sell their goods and services to each other
situation where there are no restrictions (tariffs, quotas, etc.) on imports and exports of goods.
the absence of barriers to trade such as tariffs. Page 90
international conditions under which no restrictions are placed by a government on the ability of large businesses to import or export. This often means no protection at all for a smaller state's industries from competition from giant corporations.
Also known as laissez-faire (French for 'leave well alone'), free trade means no taxes on manufacturing goods and no tariffs paid when goods cross a border. It was an idea dear to the hearts of Victorian manufacturers and industrialists, who believed that anything that impeded free trade would reduce their profits. The concept was articulated by the 18th-century Scottish economist Adam Smith, who argued in The Wealth of Nations (1776) that trade flourishes best when it is left entirely free of government interference.
international trade free of government interference
Exchange of goods and services without barriers of trade.
is an economic concept used for analytical purposes to denote trade unfettered by government-imposed trade restrictions. It is also used as a general term to denote the end result of a process of trade liberalization. Freer trade is the comparative term used to denote circumstances between current practice and the achievement of free trade (Hart, 1994, p. 426).
A term based on a theory in economics, but in reality the practice is something quite different. The theory of free trade contends that everyone in the world will be better off if each nation eliminates tariffs and other barriers to the flow of products across borders. The practice of "free trade" departs from theory by including the export of money either for investment purposes or speculation. With firms able to move both money and products around the world, the benefits of lower prices and higher wages have not been enjoyed by most people. In addition, under recent "free trade" agreements, the concept of barriers to trade has been expanded to include domestic regulations, public health and human rights measures, and environmental protection laws which inhibit business activity.
International trade unencumbered by restrictive measures.
A theoretical concept to describe international trade unhampered by governmental barriers such as tariffs or nontariff measures. Free trade typically favors the reduction or elimination of all tariff and nontariff barriers to trade.
Unrestricted trade of goods and services between countries, free from tariffs (which artificially inflate the prices of imported goods) and quotas (which limit the importation of certain goods in order to protect a country's own industries).
Trade arrangements where tariffs or other barriers to the free flow of goods and services are eliminated.
The absence of tariffs and regulations designed to curtail or prevent trade among nations.
A theoretical concept to describe international trade unhampered by governmental barriers such as tariffs, quotas, and embargoes.
Trade between nations without customs duties or tariffs
Trade between nations with no tariffs, making imported goods less expensive..
Trade without intervention from governments. Prices and products are determined by market forces of supply and demand.
the belief that if we can remove tariffs, import quotas, and other barriers to free trade, people around the world will have a higher standard of living
Trade without government intervention or restrictions (As opposed to Protectionism)
In international trade, free trade is an idealized market model, often stated as a political objective, in which trade of goods and services between countries flows unhindered by government-imposed tariff and non-tariff barriers. Economic analysis and nearly all economists support the proposition that free trade is a net gain to both trading partners and that the gains from free trade outweigh the losses.http://stlouisfed.org/news/speeches/2004/06_15_04.html It is opposed by anti-globalization and some labour campaigners due to a variety of perceived problems.
