Why Politicians Lie About Trade: ... and What You Need to Know About It by Dmitry Grozoubinski is a nonfiction explanation of international trade policy, written for general readers rather than specialists. Drawing on the author’s experience as a former Australian trade negotiator and diplomat, the book examines how trade debates are framed in public life, why political messaging so often simplifies or distorts reality, and what trade actually does to economies, workers, consumers, and governments. It is not a technical economics textbook or a polemical manifesto. Instead, it aims to make an often opaque policy area understandable, readable, and relevant to everyday political discussion. The book focuses on the gap between public rhetoric and institutional complexity, showing how tariffs, agreements, disputes, and negotiations are shaped by incentives that are frequently hidden from voters. Its purpose is to help readers assess trade claims more critically and understand the real trade-offs behind policy choices.
