Okay, so it turns out that there are 2 deals:<p>TTP
TTIP<p>In essence, it is hoping to standardize trade and other shit into 1 &quot;free&quot; system.<p>It also looks to be centred around NATO countries (or mostly them). So similar capitalist-agenda I guess?<p>This also sounds very dangerous on political grounds, as it will outcast many countries with alternate ideologies compared to the corporate-governed (or would &quot;controlled&quot; be a better word?) countries.<p>As hackers, many on HN wouldn&#x27;t care too much for political banter like this, but as startup founders, this type of deal will entrench the VWs of the world and the &quot;much-loved&quot; Teslas will be squeezed out by entrenched corporate-sponsors with deep pockets.
