Note the all too familiar "mumbo jumbo" from Clinton's lead economic adviser, Laura Tyson, in the middle of the interview.
Regrettably, Sir James was ignored in favor of Clinton's gift (GATT) to the transnational corporations.
In the end, America and the world has suffered at the hands of the 1%.

(32,139 posts)We should LEARN from our passivity then, as a new corporate Democrat pushes the even more predatory TPP and TISA.
We look at the poverty and the miserable conditions workers in other countries are forced to endure, and we don't think it can happen here. But these trade agreements are exactly what's necessary in order for corporations to make it happen here. Corporations have looted entire countries and impoverished entire populations for profit. We aren't special to them. They are buying our government and pushing agreements like this, that dismantle and allow corporations to overrule the very systems and democratic protections that have *kept* them from doing it here.

But what is really depressing is that the arguments made by the Clinton mouthpiece for these "free trade" agreements are bullshit snake oil that is being used to push TPP an otehr agreements today -- even though the rosy scenerio thatwas pushed then turned out to be a disaster.
