Established in 1995 - the WTO is a powerful new global commerce agency. While its proponents say it is based on free trade - in fact - the WTO's 700-plus pages of rules set out a comprehensive system of corporate-managed trade. Under this system - economic efficiency dominates all other values. Decisions affecting the economy are confined to the private sector - while social and environmental costs are borne by the public. This booklet contains the basic information you need to know about this powerful organization. (28 pages - 1999) For more information - visit Global Exchange's WTO campaign.
