The article comments on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The near defeat of NAFTA reveals pervasive popular doubt about the wisdom of an unregulated international market. The struggle against NAFTA represented the first major effort by Americans who have been hurt by global economic integration to do something about it. But other elements of the struggle against NAFTA prefigure a movement that could radically reshape the New World Economy. Poor and working people in large numbers have recognized that NAFTA is not primarily about trade.
