How are ordinary people rewarded as countries help their counterparts abroad? #Globalisation

Very good read from Prof Sachs:

Applies to europe and its single market, where is the pain and the gain most felt. Seem obvious, hence their problems. Then there are the BRIC's cosy'ing up to each other again.

Transparency and accountability is the key, not hiding behind size and complexity. Incompetence or corruption, you decide in the context of what Trade deals are and what they do and dont do!

The rewards should be through the taxes earned by govt, put back into more and better education, health and infrastructure. We need to help the poorest around the world and keep advancing the less poor and it shouldn't require dogma and politics just well planned policy.
