Interesting mention of the Treaty of Detroit in a column by Peter Coy on what steps Team Biden should take regarding trade and global commerce.
As a son of Michigan and a grandson of auto union workers, I can confidently say the only thing the Treaty of Detroit did was create urban sprawl in SE Michigan and turn GM into a bank.
It's hard to think Americans know what they want when it comes to trade - they certainly shop like it doesn't matter.
If Henry Ford had asked his customers what they wanted, they would've said a faster horse, not a Mustang convertible.
