Learning from other Free Trade Agreements

Much can be learnt from the experience of countries that have signed trade agreements with the United States and implemented neo-liberal policies to open up their markets. The Monthly Review recently published Oaxaca Rebellion against Marginalization, Extreme Poverty, and Abuse of Power which explains in detail the experience Mexicans have had due to these policies and the marginalization and violence that has ensued. The article is a good read for those who are learning about the effects of these policies.
