Free Trade Advantage


Advantage two: Fair Trade not Free Trade 

Current US agriculture policies reinforce the global divisions of the world – regulating Africa to the global underclass – these policies benefit only the US – destroying the possibility of fair trade

Marian Tupy and Christopher Preble, policy analyst with the Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity and director of foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, 6/17/05, Reason Magazine, “Trade, Not Aid.”) 



This decrease in free trade has be exasperated by the continued restriction on US food aid – an increase is cash donation is key to reduce concern about the current trade distorting impact of food aid.

And, a transition to truly fair trade prevent any risk of major power wars

And, current aid only creates a cycle of dependency – the plan is key to allows Africa to break away from this cycle facilitating fair trade.

Shikwati, Director of the Inter Region Economic Network, 2K6 (James, “The Economic Progress and Development Aid in East Africa: The Case of Kenya,” The 2nd International Turkish – African Congress, 12/12 – 12/13, http://www.irenkenya.com/downloads/articles/The_Economic_Progress_and_Development_Aid_in_East_Africa.pdf)

Finally, the plan is uniquely key to satiated relations with other WTO members – absent increase of cash donations WTO member will continue in-fighting – guaranteeing protectionism

Deutsche Presse-Agentur, December 14, 2005 (Ministers open second day of WTO talks amid transatlantic discord, l/n)

Contention 2 is the Golden age of Individualism

The world we live in today has become obsessed with the individual and we have all forgotten the collective good. Globalization has breed a world wide care only for number one mentality that is making medical care in sub-Saharan Africa impossible to afford and dooming millions to poverty and diseases.

And, the public health sphere is completely dominated by Trans national corporations that greedily attempt to make a buck off the suffering of those in poorer countries. Only a movement to give healthcare freely can help people stave off this corporate domination and reverse the current trends of globalization and neoliberalism

After considering multiple philosophical perspectives:

The United States federal government should pass and implement the African Health Capacity Investment Act of 2007. Requisite funding Guaranteed.

Contention 3 – It’s the time for the US to act

“Every individual positive right includes its underlying determinants… the mantle of a human right to public health.”


The current US approach fails to even the playing field between the west and sub-Saharan Africa. Now is the crucial time for the US and others to fulfill their ethical obligations and destroy these inequalities
