This article looks at the structural reasons behind the altogether unsatisfactory results of the World Trade Organization conferences of ministers since the Uruguay round and the present problems with a new world trade round. World Trade Organization agreements are more strongly affected by topic-spreading interdependences, which bring in increasingly heterogeneous conceptions over worthwhile goals and suitable ways for the World Trade Organization.

The study tries to answer the following questions: Will exposure to world agricultural prices generate more poverty or less? To what extent will households be affected by changes in agricultural trade polices? Do multilateral agricultural liberalization matter more than bilateral changes? Results of simulations using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model linked to household survey data suggest that trade liberalization has only modest effects on the level of GDP, but it has a substantial effect in reducing poverty. Moreover, the combined effects of global and domestic liberalization are more pro-poor than the effect of domestic liberalization alone. [PUB ABSTRACT]

You are one of the first designers to use digital manufacturing. How has that affected the design world? There's a lot of benefits from this type of design, such as no storage and no transportation since everything's on a CD. Imagine you download an image of this glass, for instance, from the internet, and then you just produce it. You won't have to go to China and buy 12,000 glasses and ship them back home and sell only 6,000 and store the rest. See what I mean? The problem is that people are a bit slow to respond. Our entire planet is wired to a Henry Ford way of producing things, and it will take time to change that concept. But I know that what we're doing is something that's going to change the design world the way digital photography changed the world of photography or MP3 players...
