Even if you could magically make everywhere have the same cost of living and have the same pool of talent, you're then left with a situation whereby it's cheaper to operate companies in some countries due to proximity of natural resources (production of steel-based products in China, for example, isn't just cheaper because workers are willing to work for less).
You're never going to get equal pay for equal work on a global scale.
- toast0 10y ago> You're never going to get equal pay for equal work on a global scale. Sure, but does that mean unequal pay is fair? And if it's unfair, isn't it unfair to both the worker who is paid less, and the worker who is paid more? If the system becomes more fair, workers who were paid more will see a wage decrease, but won't typically be excited to see more fairness. Maybe I'm just not understanding what you consider to be fair?
