The great thing about wealth is that you can do what you like with it. You can buy education or designer fashions. If you don't have wealth, you can't even afford food, much less decorate your cities with graceful parks. As people get richer, they acquire the surplus needed for the finer things, including not just education, but health and the arts, as well as the environment. For us World G types, this cannot come fast enough.
More trade equals more growth equals more wealth.
In promoting free trade on a world scale, the WTO is proving not to be a tool of the West, but an instrument for the advance of humanity. It isn't perfect, of course, because human institutions never are. But it is a tremendous force for positive good. We of the growth brigade want the poorer countries to become richer. We want their peoples to enjoy the advantages which wealth brings.
