On their own, tariff and trade barriers, if viewed as transitory negotiating tactics, will not significantly change global investment patterns or the structure of global supply chains and employment.

Michael Spence

When corporations refuse to practice due diligence by not establishing grievance mechanisms for remedy of abuses against the hidden 94% of their workforce in their global supply chains, they perpetuate a depraved model of profit-making that has driven inequality to a level now seen as a global risk in itself.

Sharan Burrow

In a global economy where our economies and supply chains are deeply integrated, it's not even possible.

Barack Obama

Corporate greed, corporate bullying cannot be tolerated - it's time for a global rule of law to guarantee fair trade, rights, minimum wages on which people can live with dignity, and safe and secure work.

Sharan Burrow

With a global society hungry for luxury, distribution and supply chains are now as important for executives as a hands-on feel for products.

Suzy Menkes

Global supply chains are founded on a Darwinian model that rewards employers who treat working people as less than human.

Sharan Burrow

Global poverty is an "input" on the supply side; the global economic system feeds on cheap labor.

Michel Chossudovsky

Destroying the nation state are mainly three things: the global economy, global communication technology and global culture. And this is where we are lost in the process. What could be something that can provide us a transversal political sense of belonging? At the end of the day, without an alternative we end up with populism in the name of very narrow identities.

Tariq Ramadan

Disproportionate corporate power over governments is giving license to the greed that denies workers even minimum living wages. It is also seemingly a license to allow the sheer brutality of treatment of working people at the base of the supply chains.

Sharan Burrow

We have to make sure America writes the rules of the global economy, and we should do it today while our economy is in the position of global strength, because if we don't write the rules for trade around the world, guess what: China will.

Barack Obama

A binding treaty and mandatory human rights due diligence would clean up slavery in global supply chains. Workers demand it, and consumers demand it.

Sharan Burrow

I am financing global pictures with global talents. Of course I will bring in the Chinese elements, yet you have to have global talents to create a global picture.

Bruno Zheng Wu

A global tax body would give all countries - not just the rich and powerful - an equal say in how the global rules on taxation are designed.

Winnie Byanyima

Unlike national markets, which tend to be supported by domestic regulatory and political institutions, global markets are only 'weakly embedded'. There is no global lender of last resort, no global safety net, and of course, no global democracy. In other words, global markets suffer from weak governance, and are therefore prone to instability, inefficiency, and weak popular legitimacy.

Dani Rodrik

We might hope to change the world through better, bigger programs to stop global warming, but global warming will not end unless people become less greedy and less wasteful, gaining a fresh vision of what it means to love our global neighbor.

Shane Claiborne

Global cooperation - dealing with other countries, getting along with other countries - is good. It's very important. But there is no such thing as a global anthem, a global currency, or a global flag.

Donald Trump
