Regardless of what you think we deserve or what is right, those sweatshops in Vietnam are lifting the nation out of poverty, just as they lifted us out of poverty in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
- gfaster 5y agoSorry to reply to an old thread but I am just finishing "Planet of Slums" and one of my main takeaways is that neoliberal reforms in third-world countries are absolutely not helping (and in fact hurting) the vast majority of people in urban environments. It is our policies that are putting them in this situation and now it's our responsibility to help them out of it. Of course this is partially a domestic policy thing, but how we view foreign labor now is not working.
