Moyers & Company. The Top Secret Trade Deal You Need to Know About

Description

There's a new trade deal being negotiated in secret by the government and Big Business that's even larger than NAFTA: the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a coalition of North and South American and Asian trading partners. How might the TPP affect trade unions and U.S. copyright and patent laws, not to mention environmental, health, and safety regulations? In this edition of Moyers & Company, Bill discusses the Partnership with two perceptive observers of the global economy: Yves Smith, who runs the Naked Capitalism blog, a go-to site for information and insight on the business and ethics of finance, and Dean Baker, codirector of the progressive Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, D.C.
