Populist Dialogues - Free Trade as a Corporate Project

Host David Delk interviews Lewis & Clark Economics Professor Marty Hart-Landsberg on 'free trade agreements' and corporate globalization, which Marty refers to as a corporate political project. He notes the false assumptions which most economists make - assumptions which allow them to paint rosy pictures of the effects of 'free trade' agreement when the real world consequences harm the environment, labor and democracy. In particular the details of the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) are explored, especially as revealed by the So Korea/US Trade Agreement. Notes that the TPP does not need to be improved, it needs to be rejected.
