The WTO: Five Years of Reasons to Resist Corporate Globalization

by Lori Wallach, Michelle Sforza, Ralph Nader (Introduction)

Overview

In this groundbreaking pamphlet, directors of Ralph Nader's Public Citizen group examine the first five years of the World Trade Organization's track record, demonstrating how the WTO aims to create a new global economic system that increases corporate profit with little regard for social and ecological impacts, or democratically enacted law. Wallach and Sforza make clear recommendations for altering the undemocratic course that the WTO imposes on democratic society.
