«Remettre l'OMC à sa place» is ATTAC's essay on the WTO, published by Mille et une nuits in 2001 in paperback (110 pages, in French).
The book analyzes the role of the World Trade Organization, the only international institution with coercive power through its dispute settlement body, and criticizes it for prioritizing trade over any political, cultural, health or ecological consideration. It reviews its genesis, its liberal ideology, its functioning and cases such as bananas and hormone-treated beef, and warns of the risks of the General Agreement on Trade in Services.
The authorship corresponds to ATTAC (Association pour une taxation des transactions financières pour l'aide aux citoyens), and the book belongs to the Les Petits Libres collection (no. 34).
Recommended for readers interested in critical economics, alter-globalization movements and the debate on international trade and its social and environmental effects.
The Association pour la Taxation des Transactions financières et pour l'Action Citoyenne is an activist organisation originally created to promote the establishment of a tax on foreign exchange transactions.
