Reviews for The Truth about Trade
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5'Trade and trade liberalization on its own and as practiced today will not necessarily result in a more sustainable future. This is what the arguements and in-depth analysis in this interesting and thought provoking publication provide. It is a recommended reading for practitioners, trade negotiators, and policy makers concerned about making trade an effective tool for facilitating the transition to more green and sustainable economies.' - Hussein Abaza, Economics and Trade Branch, UNEP'Clive George was at the centre of the EU's ten-year research programme into the impacts of trade liberalization. Now he is able to reveal the true findings of that research. This careful assessment of the evidence shows how trade liberalization threatens economic development, anti-poverty programmes and environmental sustainability in the vast majority of developing countries, with potentially catastrophic results. This book is an important corrective to the myth that free trade will lift millions out of poverty. It should become required reading for all people seeking to understand the truth about trade.' - John Hilary, Executive Director, War on Want'Finally, an empirically-based assessment of the trade and globalization process that does not veer left or right, but moves the debate forward!' - Kevin P. Gallagher, Boston University
