Misadventures of the Most Favored Nations: Clashing Egos, Inflated Ambitions, and the Great Shambles of the World Trade System is a vivid, insider account of the World Trade Organization's (WTO) struggles from 1998 to 2008, focusing on the failed Doha Round negotiations amid rising protectionism, anti-globalization protests, and clashes between rich and developing nations. Financial journalist Blustein demystifies the WTO's dysfunction, arguing that its inability to resolve deep divides risks fracturing the global economy, especially as recessions tempt countries toward tariffs and subsidies.
