  • Hugo Gordon, Grim Greens and Greenbacks, November 22, 2002. The 12 biggest environmental pressure groups in the United States enjoy combined annual revenues of $1.9 billion, according to the latest Internal Revenue Service figures.

In her book Whose Trade Organization, Lori Wallach argues that corporate interests have for too long dominated the World Trade Organization and that it is time for the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to receive a seat at the table. She may soon get her way. Increasingly, the U.N. and other international meetings grant the representatives of "civil society"
