Paraphrasing (13th paragraph)
Text
In short, free trade hasn't been imposed from the top down; it has arisen from the bottom up. The global trend toward economic freedom began as a direct response to the abject failure of protectionist, state-dominated development strategies, and it continues today for the same reason. In other words, the march toward economic freedom will go on even if the FTAA and the WTO fail. Nevertheless, the collapse of such institutions would be at best a setback for developing countries, as it would slow the global pace of economic liberalization. The recent spate of anti-trade, anti- capitalist protests should thus prompt free traders to reassess their strategy for advancing open markets.
The main idea of the paragraph
The process of economic globalization was driven by many countries who desired to develop their economy and who were disappointed with their "import substitution" development model. However, without the facilitation of international institutions like the WTO, the process would have been much slower, and some countries would have suffered.
许多想要发展经济、但又对“进口替代”的发展模式感到失望的国家推动了经济全球化的进程，然而，假如没有诸如世界贸易组织那样的国际机构的帮助，这个过程会慢得多，一些国家可能会蒙受损失。
