| Abstract: | An impressive gathering of activists united forces in Seattle at the end of last year to protest the World Trade Organization (WTO). Complaints about the WTO are as broad as the demography of the groups who came to Seattle to protest it. Defenders of the WTO justify it on the grounds that international trade is more efficient than purely domestic production, and will bring the benefits of capitalism to the less developed countries (LDCs). Without addressing the full range of complaints concerning the WTO, it can still easily be shown that it is both inefficient and unfair. |
