My new Cato book, [*Mad about Trade: Why Main Street America Should Embrace Globalization,*](http://www.amazon.com/dp/193530819X/?tag=catoinstitute-20) has sparked a lively exchange this morning over at the *American Spectator*’s [popular web site](http://spectator.org/).

Contributing Editor Shawn Macomber introduces [a Q&amp;A with me ](http://spectator.org/archives/2009/10/27/mad-about-free-trade)by telling his readers:

> Daniel Griswold is not shy about sharing the high aspirations he harbors for his superlative new book Mad about Trade. Griswold has managed to compose a volume as accessible and persuasive as it is indispensable, as fresh and uplifting as it is firmly grounded in accumulated wisdom–a rare bird, indeed.
