The Price of Free Trade
October 6, 1999
Listen/download helpIn preparation for the upcoming World Trade Organization summit later this year, some of the biggest corporations in the world are scrambling to set-up new public relations outfits to combat anti-global trade sentiment. Momentum is building as thousands of activists prepare to stage public forums and counter-demonstrations during the WTO meeting.
On this program we take a look at the WTO, its goals and how its decisions have affected the world's economies.
