Subject: M-I: Free trade and MAI


ERRATUM:

The MAI (Multilateral Agreement on Investment) is, of course, not being
cooked on the World Trade Organization but on the OECD (Organization for
the Economic Cooperation and Development). It is not about free trade
but about its complement, the free flow of capital.
The two are part of the same global movement. If you accept Marx's
arguments against proteccionism, I don't see how can you avoid
swallowing MAI. But that is, of course, no excuse for lack of rigour.

P.S. I hope to be excused for the violation of the three posts a day
rule with this little clearing up.
