Spinning Free Trade: The Battle for Public Opinion
July 5, 2000
Listen/download helpAs mass mobilizations and educational efforts continue against economic globalization, corporations are showering the US congress with well-funded lobbying campaigns and pro-freetrade think-tanks are engaging in an information war for public opinion. On this program, we take a look at reactions to anti-corporate globalization activism.
