WTO: What in the World It Means

If the shadowy figures behind the World Trade Organization (WTO) get their way, your voice won't count for much. That seems a pretty dramatic prediction. But just listen to an anonymous WTO official, quoted in the Financial Times, talking about the inner workings of the most powerful international institution in the world:
"The WTO is the place where governments collude in private against their domestic pressure groups. Allowing NGOs (non-government organizations) in could open the door to all kinds of lobbyists opposed to free trade."
