Product Description

Review

"This book presents a powerful challenge to current free trade orthodoxy and it is essential reading." --John Montagu, Earl of Sandwich"Truly an impressive piece of work." --Sophia Murphy, Senior Associate, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, Minneapolis

Product Description

As the fallout from the Seattle meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) continues, John Madeley explores some key questions about the free trade that it advocates: will free trade in food help or hinder the abolition of world hunger?; who benefits first? the poor? or the transnational corporations?; will free trade help Third World farmers find new international markets?; or will the flood of cheap, subsidized food from the North eliminate them?; how can countries - North and South, rich and poor - protect their farmers?; and how can self-sufficiency in food production be achieved? John Madeley shows that the food imports of many developing countries are rising sharply while their food exports to the industrial countries are not. He exposes the contradictions between Western governments' rhetoric about reducing world poverty and the drive to yet more trade liberalization.

First Sentence
Meetings about trade and development issues are usually quite dour affairs and even the more interesting ones are rarely accompanied by massive protests, let alone teargas, bullets and riots. Read the first page

Good information, though sometimes repetative and unclear. 3 May 2007
By C. Savage - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed this book, and it has dramatically affected the way I look at the world. That said, at times I wished it had been written better. Often I felt that it repeated itself or stated facts without explaining them or placing them in any sort of context. A good start.
