I was 12 when those demonstrations happened, and I’m a little fuzzy on the agenda of the protesters. I’m currently finishing up Stigliz’s Gobalization and its Discontents, which while critical of the IMF, also complaints about anti-globalization activists lobbying for more protectionist measures on the part of developed countries, against goods produced in developing countries. Do you have any idea if that applies to the Seattle protests?

Yes. It applies. But they were also asking for what you were asking for.
