WTO

 

            Throughout the years, there has been a constant controversy over whether the World Trade Organization should enforce global free trade. The primary idea is to establish in which all are happy. Although there are many advocates for trade liberalization, as well as many who oppose. I believe free trade may be advantageous for both large and small-industrialized countries, but it does not favor the smaller developing countries needs primarily. .
             If the World Trade Organization eliminates tariffs and quotas, it could create more jobs, which could result in more wealth or new wealth for the country because of increased demand and increased trade of a product(s) that a country produces. However, if a developing country substantially increases production and therefore trade, it is very possible that the country, which may have few and small industries could risk depleting natural resources by trying to meet demand with limited supply. Also if country imports little utilizing the majority of the products created it economy can easily become dependent. In this situation an increase in imports could very well be disastrous causing business that are unable to compete with imported products and to stop operating, and a potential spike in unemployment if they. .
             In addition, while free trade can increase trade, if trade increases too much, it could cause a decrease in the demand leading to a decrease in price for a product from a particular developing country because of competition from imports. If this country mainly specializes in that particular product or industry, it could result in many workers losing their jobs and/or the country losing money because of the need to lower prices. For this reason, there should be some type of regulations to prevent these situations from occurring. Members of the World Trade Organization should not have to fear the effects of trading with its fellow members.
