Take a day to peruse everything that comes into your life by way of trade.
Products arrive home like babies in diapers in the beaks of white storks.
Increasingly, the World Trade Organization has become the governor of world trade. The WTO can set trade rules and order stiff penalties against member nations that break them. A WTO panel can decide there is no proof of health risk, and that the EU is using the ban as a ploy to protect domestic cattle production or to trade with preferred partners. We are grateful to all contributors. WTO arose from the aftermath of World War II and the zealous trade protectionism that preceded it.
