Just over a decade, discussions within the World Trade Organization (WTO) should have focused on the need for development of the less developed nations and the recognition of asymmetries between the industrialized poles and the so-called Third World.
However, it is clear that a decade has not been sufficient even for the great capitalist power centers to define their positions regarding those issues.
In any case, their main efforts have only had as their epicentre demands on the rest of the world to liberalize their economies in the worst sense of the term, and open their doors wide to capital and products straight from the big cities, stricken from 2008, by a production and financial crisis that still does not show any intention to give up, just the opposite.
