AIMS President Brian Lee Crowley was invited to bring the Institute's Atlantica message to the annual conference of the Canada-US Border Trade Alliance (CanAmBTA) in Chicago on November 8th. In this speech and slide presentation, Crowley walked the delegates through the logic of Atlantica in the context of a growing movement to continental economic integration and globalization.
