"John Edwards believes that the United States must be a global leader in the fight against poverty. If elected President, he "will fundamentally transform America's approach to the world. As part of his $5 billion initiative, he will bring high-level attention to help people in three priority areas: primary education, preventive health, and greater economic and political opportunity."
I wonder how he reconciles such leadership with his more skeptical view of free trade. I am still searching for a recent clear statement of his position concerning the link between trade and poverty reduction.
