About this listen

Rethinking Trade calls for a bold overhaul of the global trade system to make it just, inclusive, and sustainable. It critiques outdated structures rooted in post–World War II institutions and proposes a new architecture grounded in equity, climate action, and digital access. The book outlines reforms like a multipolar currency system, tiered trade rules for development equity, enforceable labor and climate standards, democratized dispute resolution, and the use of emerging technologies for transparency and inclusion. It advocates for a Planetary Marshall Plan to finance trade-driven development and insists on bringing the bottom billion—women, informal workers, migrants—into global commerce. The vision culminates in a call for a Bretton Woods 2.0: a global summit to co-write a new economic constitution. The book is a manifesto for turning trade into a tool for human dignity and planetary survival.
