A Buyer's Market: Global Trade, Southern Poverty, and Northern Action

This book provides a short and simple guide to the complexities of world trade, explaining why countries that depend on the export of raw commodities can't win under the present system. Companies and governments in Europe have the power to change things, but so have we all. As citizens we can voice our concerns to those who make the policies and as consumers we can make choices in the shops which will make a real difference to the prospects of producers in poor countries. This new edition takes into account the changes in the world trading system since the conclusion of the Uruguay round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
