Thomas Pogge Quotes About Trade

• Our global institutional arrangements - the basic ground rules that govern our world economy - are human-made. They don't exist naturally, nor are they God-given. We make these rules, those of the WTO [World Trade Organization] Treaty for instance, which fill tens of thousands of pages. These words have been strung together by human beings and are also interpreted and enforced by human beings.

• Each powerful player, or coalition of players, will make concessions in areas where it has relatively less at stake in exchange for other such players making reciprocal concessions in other areas where it has relatively more at stake. Such trades are collectively rational insofar as they get each of the powerful players more of what it wants. But such trades are also dangerous because the whole international rule-system will become incoherent and therefore vulnerable to crises that will continue to become increasingly severe.

• Con el Fondo de Impacto Sanitario, la innovación se paga aparte, mediante recompensas de impacto sanitario financiadas con fondos públicos, y el producto se vende al coste de producción para todos. En este caso, ya no sería necesaria la cruel injusticia de impedir que los pobres compren a precio de coste, como demuestra la supresión actual del comercio de versiones genéricas de medicamentos patentados.
