The level of development of the three countries are different so the gross national income per capita shown in 2005 for Mexico, Canada and the U.S. are 7,300 dollar, 32,600 dollar and 43,740 dollar respectively. The Mexico shows the least gross national income per capita because there is an assumption that agriculture of Mexico will be enhanced by modernized and will become more productivity in future but in fact NAFTA does not provide financial aid to Mexico to this end for achieving the goals since the European Union already provided financial assistance for those old or new members under the common agricultural policy.
NAFTA does not greatly provide benefit to Mexico. This can be said that exports are not an important determinant of economic growth. However, few companies are benefit from exports with few connections to local production and yet fail to create more employment. Thus, each country’s development is strongly depends on a national plan instead of NAFTA as development cannot be produced if solely rely on market forces.

NAFTA allows corporations to exploit and enjoy their rights. In order to deal with the social dimensions of development, an enhanced NAFTA is essential to go beyond the silent integration of markets. There is a problem, since the concept of enhanced NAFTA is something similar to the European model, it is a little chance even nearly impossible to get support among businesses as well as the respective parliaments of the NAFTA partners.

    Seth Holmes does a wonderful job shining a light on the current problems that migrant agricultural workers have in the United States. His balance of personal experience with background research allows the audience to empathize with the migrant workers as well as understand some of the systematic problems. Our group seems to thoroughly enjoy reading this book and we have discussed a host of different topics brought up in the reading. The talking points which I have connected with were about the individual reasons why immigrants are coming to the United States and how they relate to the systematic problems. Holmes has given me new insight into the reason why many Hispanics are immigrating as well as disproving many of the myths.…

    The current state of the globalized economy and the principals of neoliberalism exemplify the concept of having too much of a “good thing”. In this case the concept of free trade, as a good thing, can be debated. The current intensity of free trade global structure has led to exploitation of workers, communities and the global South. It empowers major corporations, both in the North and corporations run by elites in the South, to further deteriorate working wages, standards and well beings. Profit has been shifted above people, and many are seeking an alternative to these negative externalities.…

    Why did Bombardier deliberately tap into the three member countries in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), instead of concentrating its work in one country?

    In the past 70 years since the end of World War II, Canada has evolved from the soldiers following the orders of Great Britain to the modern bankers of the world. The change in Canada’s global image reflects the metamorphosis that has transformed this country.

    NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) is a trade agreement between Mexico, Canada and the United States. Although NAFTA has a lot of good benefits for the economy of the three countries, this doesn’t make those three countries improve because of the criticism they have received. NAFTA is far inferior and it is not a good thing because of the negative influence that it gives to both American and Mexican workers, Mexico’s environment were deteriorated because of pollution, and U.S. wages were kept the same. When NAFTA created five million U.S. jobs, 682,900 manufacturing jobs were lost. Some of them went to 17 states and some went to Mexico because the labor is cheaper.…

    NAFTA, or the North American Federal Trade Agreement, is something not too far different from the TPP, just on a smaller scale. After reading different views on NAFTA, I found that it resulted in helping the economy and big business. It brought more money to the governments of Canada, The United States, and Mexico. It brought money to big businesses, helping them to grow larger and larger. It did, on the other hand, harm everyday citizens who were no longer making enough money to survive and thrive.…
