Critics of the World Trade Organization (WTO) say that liberalized world trade does all of the following except

A) produce environmental degradation.
B) allow producers to circumvent labor protections such as workplace safety, child labor restrictions, and collective bargaining rights.
C) help developing nations escape from poverty.
D) promote the interests of multinational corporations.

Critics of the WTO argue that liberalized world trade often worsens income inequality and does not necessarily lead to poverty reduction in developing countries. Some argue that it can even perpetuate poverty by prioritizing the interests of multinational corporations over the needs of local communities. However, supporters of free trade would argue that opening up global markets can help developing nations achieve sustained economic growth and improve their standard of living.
