Beginning with the Conference on Financing for International Development, held in Monterrey, Mexico, last year [2002], the United States and other industrialized nations pledged to increase aid to help developing countries reach goals for reducing poverty, raising literacy, and lengthening life expectancy by 2015. Unfortunately, however, one potent method for helping poor nations grow has been underutilized, namely, tearing down trade barriers in rich countries that keep out exports from poor states." (WORLD & I) This article examines the reasons why "poor countries pay more in tariffs for their total exports than rich countries."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
