A citizen's guide to the WTO, demonstrating how it uses its extraordinary powers in areas such as agriculture, the environment, labour and culture to force governments to modify public policies, usually to conform to corporate interests and at the expense of people. Ideas for mounting effective challenges to the WTO and developing a more humane approach to world trade are discussed.
