Is it time for WTO 2.0?

Richard Bald­win, whose writ­ing I like and whose schol­ar­ship I respect, thinks so.

But I dis­agree for rea­sons I spell out (after sum­ma­riz­ing RB’s argu­ment) in my paper that you can down­load here

In brief: if we could real­ly do what needs to be done in a WTO 2.0, then we would­n’t need WTO 2.0 to do it.

Please com­ment or send me an email if you wish. Espe­cial­ly if you disagree!
