Episode description

The World Trade Organization is the referee for 164 trading partners, each with their own political and economic agendas.

Roberto Azevêdo, head of the W.T.O., tells us why it’s so hard to balance protectionism and globalism; what’s really behind the loss of jobs; and what he’d say to Trump (if he ever gets the chance).
