International Trade and the WTO ( What is the real story ) – Howard Nicholas

Howard Nicholas is a renowned development economist and associate professor of economics at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS). “What is the connection between poverty, human rights and trade? What is ‘free’ trade and who profits from it? What are genuine and bogus solutions to poverty worldwide? What is the role of institutions like the WTO? What is the role of trade treaties such as EPAs, TTIP and TiSA? To what extent are trade and economics ‘war by other means’?” Howard Nicholas engages, among others, these questions in his lecture.
