    Free trade has taken a beating on the campaign trail this year. Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton all have taken shots at the impact of trade on the American economy.

Lincicome touted the benefits of trade during a speech at the John Locke Foundation marking Friedman Legacy Day.
