Luddites weren't wrong about the consequences; they were wrong about who it'd affect the most. The Brits pulled out all stops to create a market for British products and destroy industries in India/China. This was done by imposing high duties on local products in India, and by making China addicted to opium. India, China were reasonably rich with vast reserves of Gold/Silver. Who are the rich in today's world ? Yeah that's right.
