Very detailed video. Thank you!

Prof. Zerbe, your video touches on a rarely studies forerunner to the GATT, the International Trade Organization (ITO). I think political scientists could benefit from a greater understanding of the ITO, its failures, and why the GATT continued to win the day. Excellent presentation.

@@NoahZerbe Prof. Zerbe, that sounds like the world before the fall or reduction of global colonialism. The question of national sovereignty was imagined to be more than a European peace at Westphalia. Or when a Soviet soldier imagined, “What if I don’t shoot that guy trying to fall the Berlin Wall.” I think these are critical questions that must be asked and explored in order to realize a meaningful progression and avoid calamity.

Very nice introduction video! However, I am just wondering, why do you not include any sort of reference list? Or the sources?

[@CurtisTaylor3813]

At minute 1:47 you say that the 8 original countries have expanded to 123.
Unfortunately I can't find anywhere online that the GATT was originally made up of 8 countries.
Do you have some more information by any chance?
Thanks in advance :)

What about the trade unions?

[@NoahZerbe]

Trade unions were permitted under GATT, which left much of the internal economic organization of countries at their discretion. Remember that GATT was created under the system of embedded liberalism (see my video at ua-cam.com/video/pcjLxcmQXcU/v-deo.html) that characterized much of the Western political economy from 1945 through the early 1970s. Afterwards, unions come under increasing pressure, largely from domestic political movements, especially in the US and UK. This was certainly aided by the lack of protections afforded trade unions under the WTO, but I think primarily reflects shifts in domestic politics.

@@NoahZerbe ya our union was broke under Regan . A few went to Mexico to find work but we're turned away at the gate. Some tried to join the masons, for there resume.
