It's related though
Instead of having the economy localised to a country, it becomes transnational spanning the entire globe. Your small start-up company is now at the reach of the entire world rather than your small town
That's globalization
And globalism is a loss of sovereignty to internationalism
Bretton-Woods system
Yes
Bretton Woods system foster globalisation. The EU free movement of goods, services and capital allows for globalisation within the EU, and for foreign businesses that want to work within the EU
Nothing about it says to create a psuedo governmental body to impose unwanted legislation from the top down
Well the unwanted part I don't agree with.
Joining the EU is optional, not mandatory. Countries hold national referendums to enter, knowing what it is and what it offers. Joining the EU isn't a walk in the park either, it requires certain macroeconomic and political goals which are not easy to achieve, and which is why most of the Ex Yugoslav states and Turkey are still on the waiting line
States which have asked to join as well
unless you have Goldman Sachs helping you out, Right, Greece?
And besides I got it wrong, I confused the Bretton Woods agreement with the Treaty of Rome
Regardless the Bretton Woods agreement was more so to install neoliberal based organisations such as the World Bank and the IMF and to peg the US dollar to gold and as the international currency
though the US did abandon it in the 70s under Nixon because of the oil crisis
@Nordhand Hmm, I've been looking at the article and looking into Fair Trade again, and I see the problem. I agree and understand with what Sylla says about the organisation. However, personally I would rather say that the objectives ought to be not to end poverty, but to lift the people they are trying to help *out* of poverty, and to more importantly pay them what they deserve
Ending poverty is the ambitious goal of many philanthropists and altruists, however it's an impossible task simply because poverty can never be eradicated
Thing is, *they know that.*
they don't want to end it. if they did end it. they loose there jobs that pays them millions
Tim explains a lot about the scam that is charity in this video from his own experience in the charity industry https://youtu.be/flodqE3sJew
The thing about poverty, is that it never ends.
So now they can forever be seen as the virtuous philanthropists helping the little people
and speak out about climate change as they fly around in their private jets
We stole their Tea and Curry
Poverty is just an ambiguous term. Because regardless how much money there is each person has the "threshold" of what is poor would just shift.

Except the EU wont allow it. It basically means britian leaves, rejoins, with plans to leave.
yeah, we'll end up relying on the stubborness of Juncker to get Brexit, wew
Well if that admendment passes, which i doubt.
But if they manage to get this through, they will be able to get extension to Article 50 in order to have another referendum, and EU already said they will extend for that reason.
credible theory...
