Written By: Free trade, also called laissez-faire, a policy by which a government does not discriminate against imports or interfere with exports by applying tariffs (to imports) or subsidies (to exports). A free-trade policy does not necessarily imply, however, that a country abandons all control and taxation of imports and exports. 1  The theoretical case for free trade is based on Adam Smithâs argument that the division of labour among countries leads to specialization, greater efficiency, and higher aggregate production.

A wrist fracture is a medical term for a broken wrist. The wrist is made up of eight small bones which connect with the two long forearm bones called the radius and ulna. Although a broken wrist can happen in any of these 10 bones, by far the most common bone to break is the radius. This is called a distal radius fracture by hand surgeons (Figure 1). Some wrist fractures are stable. âNon-displacedâ breaks, in which the bones do not move out of place initially, can be stable.
