 No more business as usual.pdf | [ ] | 860 Kb |
The world is in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Millions of jobs have already been destroyed and millions more are under threat.
This briefing explores how the crisis and its human consequences are a direct result of the free market model of globalisation that has been pursued by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) as well as the rich country governments that control them. It calls for for the Global Europe strategy of free trade and competitiveness to be replaced with a strategy that prioritises development, human rights and environmental sustainability.
This short briefing paper accompanies
Trading Away Our Jobs, our report on how free trade has worsened global unemployment, and provides more information about our campaign for trade justice.
