TTIP, the US/EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (called TAFTA -- Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement in the US) is a 'free trade' agreement between the world two biggest economies.

However TTIP is not about trade. It is in fact a corporate coup that will take us to a 'corporatocracy', a corporate-run world.

It is being promoted by transnational corporations, for the benefit of transnational corporations, and mainly transnational financial service corporations -- the banks and other financial service firms that caused the financial crisis that has resulted in welfare cuts and other hardships for ordinary people.
