Some good points, but very biased. This video treats ongoing debates as already resolved, all 'new issues' as detrimental, and dramatically oversimplifies. Furthermore, it is well established that the Seattle Ministerial did not collapse due to demonstrations. Anyone interested in the topic is advised to read more academically-based literature for a less biased presentation of the situation.
So without the wto everyone trades fairly? Presumably everyone who signs up to it is bound by the same restrictions and granted the same advantages. That is where the focus should be, on making the wto an enforcement agency of unbiased free trade, not eliminating any organisation that tries to apply common rules for everyone.
Fuck the WTO!

Good comment - I wish more people would look into available knowledge before passing strong and often very simplistic views.

Wow. This video seems quite fair and balanced. If you want to know about the WTO and free trade then don't rely on this video.

Very simplistic approach to difficult development problems. It tends to be paternalistic and ethnocentric.
