In “The Trans-Pacific
Partnership: A Deeply Flawed Partnership,” Mel Gurtov criticizes the TPP (Trans-Pacific
Partnership) for exporting more jobs than it will create, hindering
unionization, not protecting workers from the consequences of the effects of
the agreement, causing the emigration of impoverished agriculture workers, and
ignoring environmental, health, and safety laws. In my opinion, Mel Gurtov
makes a valid argument for the issues regarding the TPP. The article relates to
this week’s topic of Economics because the groups that would be a part of the
TPP would represent a large chunk of the global GDP and world trade. The
article is also relevant to current events outside of class because it is
fairly recent and it would have a radical effect on the world’s economy.
Question: What benefits
could come from the formation of the TTP (Trans-Pacific Partnership)?
