Mathias argues that the old paradigm of "change through trade" has actually strengthened non-democratic countries and weakened democracies, suggesting that an alliance of democratic countries, starting with the transatlantic alliance, could create a powerful force for change and fair trade. He emphasizes other countries that should be included in this alliance and the need for consistency in business decisions that support democratic values.
