Abstract:
Are the trade agreements pursued in the WTO and in regional summits really so vital for eliminating world poverty and making development environmentally sustainable? Or is trade liberalization the villain of the piece? In this provocative book, Clive George examines the evidence, exposes the myths and presents challenging new proposals for comprehensive reform of the global trading system.
