If you want those places to start having worker rights and environmental protections, then you better make sure they're rich first, by giving them jobs and trade.
The only reason they don't have these things is because they're poor in the first place. Only wealthy societies can afford those things.
Free trade is the global labor and environment solution.
Or maybe you want those countries to be environmentally destructive forever?
- vkou 10y agoLook - you don't have to believe that these complaints are valid. You don't even have to believe that viable alternatives to unrestricted capitalism should exist. I'm not trying to convince you of that! However, you are incredibly unlikely to convince me that in decades past, those beliefs were held by 'progressives.'
