From the history of international trade

Trade is as old as history itself. In the beginning, people exchanged goods such as food and clothes. Later, then began to use money for buying and selling. But international trade only became important in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, when many modern countries were formed. France, England and other countries made agreements which made the trade easier and cheaper.

In 1947, twenty-three countries made an agreement called GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade). GATT played a very important part in the development of world trade for fifty years.

In 1995, GATT became the WTO (World Trade Organization). All the countries in the WTO have to follow the same trade rules. This saves time: countries can make just one agreement instead of a lot of different ones. Larger and more powerful countries cannot make it difficult for poorer countries to take part in trade. Cheaper trade means cheaper goods in the shops. Easier trade is good for the world economy and probably means more jobs. And finally, people say that trade agreements help to keep peace because they help countries to work together.

However, some people are worried about the WTO because it has got too much power and does not explain its decisions.
