| Abstract: | Export controls cost USA companies USD 9.3 billion a year, and vast trade opportunities in Eastern Europe and the Third World. National security export controls apply to 40 percent of all USA manufactured exports and cover virtually all advanced technologies. But the real price is certainly much higher. Denying, delaying, or encumbering USA high-tech exports with elaborate security protocols does not keep products out of global circulation. It merely denies the business to USA producers. The USA needs to rethink its traditional trade and technology policies. In a changing political and economic world, those policies provide neither military nor economic security. In fact, they may undermine both. |
