Manuel F. Ayau, President Emeritus, Universidad Francisco
Marroquin, Guatemala |
8 August 2003 Wall Street Journal |
The wiser policy for Central America, as for all small poor
countries with little or no internal competition, would be to
allow people to purchase whatever they want from whatever part
of the world best satisfies their needs and desires. It
would be hoped that we could persuade others by example and
argument to do likewise and remove obstacles to our exports.
But just because other governments sacrifice the interests of
their people doesn't mean that, in reciprocity, we must
impoverish our own. |

Mr. Mike Moore, ex-Director-General of the WTO, interviewed in
the National Business Review, New Zealand |
20 February 2003 |
There is a perception that the world is going to hell because of
capitalism and that globalization is an evil campaign by
the multinationals to run the world. But you should pray
for globalization if you fear big business. Open trade forces
competition and curbs monopolies and corporate giants by
exposing them to competition. It is the absence of competition,
not the size of the business, that gives them their power. |
