Abstract: It was not until 1994 that the decision to set up an international organization (WTO) in charge of monitoring international trade was taken. However negotiations to that aim had started in 1941. They led in 1948 to the Havana Charter for the creation of an International Trade Organization (ITO). But the ITO was never born. At a time when eminent economists become disenchanted with the broken promises of international organizations, it seems useful to point out the intellectual background in which the plan for an International Trade Organization emerged. This paper aims at presenting the ideas of the three main British economists who took part in these negotiations, namely Keynes, Meade and Robbins.
