Trade Agreements

What is the reason for and purpose of trade agreements?The latest proposed is the TPPand it is enveloped in secrecy.The proponents are big corporations and the countries involved,including Obama, who criticized and spoke against NAFTA and trade agreements in general before and early in his presidency.Why the change and why the secrecy?

World economic leaders,whether we want to admit it or not,want world wide economic stability.There are periodic unpublicized meetings during the year where this is discussed.The Bilderberg Group's meeting is one of these.This meeting is influential enough to be attended by most world leaders,including Obama.Secrecy prevails,so we don't know exactly what is said or decided,but rumor has it that what is decided,happens.I happen to think that there is a world plan by these leaders and every part is not revealed.Trade agreements  like TPP may be part of this plan and that may explain the secrecy.It may simply be more corporate control,which is pretty much the same thing.

Anyway,the end purpose of trade agreements is to equalize countries in production and trade areas.The problem is that equalization will always be at our expense.We should want to pospone that as long as possible.
