The Case Against Free Trade, subtitled GATT, NAFTA, and the Globalization of Corporate Power, is a book edited by Ralph Nader, with chapters written by William Greider, Margaret Atwood, David Philips, and Pat Choate, which claims that corporations are using free trade as a cloak or smokescreen under which they intend to circumvent the democratic process to harm the health and safety of the general public.
