Here’s an interesting treaty that was secretly being negotiated under the Clinton Administration. The agreement would give international investors the ability to “roll back” any state legislation deemed counterproductive to investors and give investors the right to sue host countries in closed arbitration without any rights to affected communities.

“It seems agreed on all hands now that the bank is a certain & gratuitous augmentation of the capitals subscribed in a proportion of not less than 40 or 50 percent. And if the deferred debt should be immediately provided for in favor of the purchasers of it in the deferred shape, & since the unanimous vote that no change shd. be made in the funding system, my imagination will not attempt to set bounds to the daring depravity of the times. The stockjobbers will become the praetorian band of the government—at once its tool & its tyrant; bribed by its largesses, & overawing it by clamours and combinations…” -James Madison
