MAI: The Multilateral Agreement on Investment

The Multilateral Agreement on Investment

"A global economy built in the image of stateless capital is not inevitable;

Knowing that we have the right reject the MAI is a necessary first step
to reclaiming our full heritage and reversing the culture of defeatism."
