“The United Nations is hosting world leaders on September 22 and 23 for a ‘Summit of the Future.’ Unfortunately, the draft action plan for the summit, while full of lofty language and some good intentions, does not challenge the neoliberal model or corporate control of the global economy. On the contrary, it proposes, for example, to ‘facilitate access of developing countries to the WTO and promote trade and investment liberalization’. It’s astounding that this plan, which is supposed to serve as the basis for an inter-governmental agreement, is so stuck in the past. For decades now, social movements and elected officials in many countries have become increasingly opposed to trade and investment rules that grant enormous privileges and power to transnational corporations.” (09/17/24)
