| Abstract: | It is argued that trade, and especially free trade is beneficial to everyone involved. The trading system is not something inherently good, and especially the developing countries benefit from trade have been very dubious. Furthermore the trading system has contributed to environmental problems in several ways e. g. generating undervaluation of natural resources, stimulating economic growth with environmental deterioration as a consequence. The critical approach makes a case for reducing trade. |
