I refuse this appologia, especially the false dichotomy between an absolute minimum in worker benefits and the existence of jobs better than farming. Nike/Apple/Gap/Samsung all put substantial effort into their overseas operations and reap huge profits. Spending a fraction of their margins on creating healthy workplaces and increasing worker ownership could change the situation from lesser of two evils to a transformational endeavor. Given more free time, savings and ownership in the company she is helping to create, a Foxconn worker could turn around and mechanize the family farm. The only one to disappoint is Wall Street.
