What's For Dinner?

Tim Wise, just back from 9th Ministerial meeting of WTO, on what makes multilateral trade talks important right now. The 158 WTO members surprised the world by reaching a trade agreement this year. Tim, Director of the Research and Policy Program at Tufts University's Global Development and Environment Institute, attended the Bali WTO meeting. He also attended WTO in Cancun in 2003, where developing countries also held out against developed countries, and a Korean farmer shouted that the WTO kills farmers and stabbed himself to death. Tim closely follows free trade consequences in Mexico and Latin America, and we discuss ways the past and possible future trajectory of the WTO meetings offer reason for hope.
