A look at Vietnam and Mexico exposes the myth of market liberalisation
Larry Elliott, economics editor
Monday December 12, 2005
The Guardian
Expect much gnashing of teeth in Hong Kong this week. The chances of
securing a comprehensive trade deal are non-existent, with the talks
now really about damage limitation and the apportionment of blame.
The development charities will say that the selfish behaviour of the
developed world has condemned poor nations to further penury.
Washington and Brussels will say the negotiations have been stymied by
the obduracy of India and Brazil. Economists will have a field day
explaining how the world is turning its back on millions of dollars'
worth of extra growth, and that the poor countries will be the ones who
will really suffer if the global economy lapses back into a new dark
age of protectionism.
