the world trade system: how it works and what’s wrong with it
Friends of the Earth International, August 2003: This report offers a deep analysis of the current drive to liberalise trade
promotes inequality, is undemocratic,
and degrades the environment, social
structures and cultural diversity. Critically,
the underlying principles on which
the free trade system is based are
fundamentally flawed. The present trading
system promotes the free movement of
goods, services and capital as a goal
in itself, rather than ensuring that such
international trade promotes sustainable
and equitable development.
