Evidence
This book has shown that the recasting of trading rights, market rights, and capital rights as individual rights was proposed by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and neoliberals against the United Nations’ idea of social and economic rights around 1945, incorporated as the market freedoms and market citizens of the EuÂroÂpean integration projÂect in the 1950s and 1960s, and scaled up to the WTO in the course of GATT reform in the 1970s and 1980s. — Quinn Slobodian, Globalists, 906
