We must rethink globalization, or Trumpism will prevail | Thomas Piketty | Opinion | The Guardian
Celebrated economist Thomas Piketty says EU-Canada deal CETA “should be rejected”:
“It is a treaty which belongs to another age. This strictly commercial treaty
contains absolutely no restrictive measures concerning fiscal or
climate issues. It does, however, contain a considerable reference to
the “protection of investors”. This enables multinationals to sue states
under private arbitration courts, bypassing the public tribunals
available to one and all.”
