Question

In what ways does the world trade organization help society?

Answer 1

They don't.

Answer 2

World Trade Organization fosters economic cooperation among member countries to lower the price of basic commodities.

Answer 3

They don't help society.  They actually damage societies around the globe.  

It's a bit complicated, opening up trade without restrictions creates unfair competition and much volatility in the standards of living around the world.

Answer 4

I don't know. Does regulating trade count?

Answer 5

The World Trade Organization is basically an organization of the economically developed countries that provides standards for goods traded between countries. It was meant as a way that developing countries could trade with developed countries by agreeing to certain standards, like intellectual property rights, conformance to contracts, and the like. I don't know about small farmers per se, but farmers generally can sell their products world-wide provided that they meet standards of hygiene, quality, and so on.

Answer 6

It doesn't.

It's a cabal of the powerful.
