Clinton-style centrist economics rests on a surprisingly shaky foundation

14. No, sorry, they are irreversible. It wont be possible once multinationals are involved,

it becomes hideously expensive. The whole point of the deals is to remove everything economic from the things politicians can change, even if its toxic chemicals, it becomes off limits for politics, federal state and local legislators cant fix it- Only all the countries geting together with thousands of industry lobbyists can.


Trade deals, once signed, and sometimes even before that, make (what you describe) financially impossible. because the taxpayers basically have to buy corporations out, suddenly, changing some law, requires millions or billions, to escape their clutches, a country would have to give them a huge amount -give them free money-

Even if its dangerous- often that doesn't matter, its *changing* something that triggers the need for a payment in advance- from all society.
