Beyond Free Trade to Fair Trade
认为企业和经济全球化、区域贸易集团以及贸易收益分配不均要求建立公平贸易新体制,并需改革IMF和世界银行的债务计划、发展世贸组织以促进公平,否则将导致政治不稳定、经济劣势和生态危机。
The globalizing of corporations and economies, the shifts in world trade to regional trading blocs, and the uneven distribution of the fruits of trade require the operation of a new regime of fair trade. This, in turn, necessitates changes in the debt program of the IMF and World Bank and the full development of the new, post-GATT World Trade Organization to foster this fairness. If the necessary reforms are not made, the author warns, the result will be political instability, economic disadvantage, and ecological perils that will engulf the prosperous as well as the poor.
