Live 8 e proteccionismo

Ainda outro exemplo da demagogia do Live 8:

Trade Justice - What Needs To Be Done?

It's simple really, change the rules. Now.

It's an obvious solution - challenge and change the rules so they work for poor countries. Rewrite them so poor countries can develop, build their own industries, grow stronger, and one day compete as equals. Rich countries used trade rules to protect themselves as they developed - which is how they got where they are now. Now we need to use trade rules to end world poverty as we know it.

Estranho, então, que tenham sido as economias mais abertas a reduzirem os níveis de probreza dos seus cidadãos!
