Free trade is one of the most debated topics in economics of the 19th, 20th, and 21st century. IPN’s trade project emphasizes the benefits of freedom to trade for all people, and the benefits of open investment, and competition between jurisdictions in matters of tax and regulatory policy.  Free trade enables people to lead better lives and it benefits the environment as well, according to Julian Morris. IPN along with the Atlas Economic Research Foundation launched the [[Freedom to Trade Campaign]] in 2009, it is a coalition of 76 think tanks and civil society organisations in 48 countries, which supports free trade and opposes protectionism in all its guises.
