Mike Moore's reflection on his time as Director-General of the
World Trade Organization is an important addition to the great
globalization debate. Moore explains how a boy, who left school at
fourteen to work in a slaughterhouse, came to head an organization
charged with bringing rules and order to the world's trading
system. Arriving at the WTO shortly before the ill-fated Seattle
meeting, Moore sought to reform the Organization, addressing the
concerns of poorer countries and engaging in open debate with the
often hostile NGOs. He is proud of the outcome of the Doha meeting
in November 2001 which secured commitment to a new round of trade
talks with a focus on development. Moore rebuts the attacks against
the WTO arguing that the WTO's promise of rules-based free trade
offers the best hope for lifting millions of the world's poorest
citizens out of poverty.
