	The End of the WTO - official #7 - Raskolnikov123 May 23, 2002 08:35 pm Did they just register a gatt.org site and copy most of the content from the wto.org site? It actually had me wondering if I had completely missed a major change in international economic diplomacy, for about 10 seconds.

	How Should the US Respond to a Nuclear Terrorist Attack on One of Its Cities if #56 - Satori May 23, 2002 06:15 pm This need not even be a question if: 1. America gets its hands out of everyone else's business. (Which, by the way, they only care about because campaign backers stand to profit.) 2...
	How Should the US Respond to a Nuclear Terrorist Attack on One of Its Cities if #51 - michaelmandahl May 23, 2002 05:57 pm "And still the WTO will force discredited monetarist policies on them because that's what the financiers do well out of." The WTO helps encourage good government. One kind of trade barrier that the WTO’s rules try to tackle is the quota, for example restricting imports or exports to no more than a specific amount each year. Because quotas limit supply, they artificially raise prices, creating abnormally large profits (economists talk about “quota rent”)...

As such, your appeal is a slogan, not an argument...
	Tackling world poverty; the US must take the lead #65 - AMouseNamedSerge May 22, 2002 09:47 am newguy You asked for some elaboration: participatory budgeting systems Developing economies (and for that matter, many economies in the developed world) suffer from waste, mis-management and corruption. Budgets set aside for local improvements to the quality of life are often spent on things that don’t deliver those improvements, and the result is disillusionment with the political system, leading to disenfrachisement and a vicious circle of democratic failure. Other posters have pointed out that improved economic performance is often the midwife of democracy...
	The solution to the "Problem" of immigration #15 - threekings May 21, 2002 10:31 am "Globalisation is, and will continue to, increase global equality?" This is absurd. Globalisation will simply de-stabilse the west whilst doing little to address the impoverisment of the third world. The wage rate for a manufacturing job in the UK is approx £8 per hour, apparently in Malaysia it is £4 per hour and in China about 30p per hour...
