However, I think it's fair to discriminate between true productivity gains in technologies that eliminate the need for certain types of work to be done in the first place, and simply outsourcing work to more desperate countries. Making it possible to get the same output with less work is a good thing (as long as external costs are factored in). Exploiting peasants with a "subsistence" deal is evil. Now some "free market", disaster capitalism patsy is going to jump me...
