From a third party perspective though, that globalization move helped lift more than a billion people out of abject poverty and helped industrialize about 1/7th of humanity and all it took was a marginal decrease in prosperity for the richest nation in the world. If there was a world wide arbiter, that move would be a no brainer.
- lenerdenator 3y ago> marginal decrease The decrease has been far from marginal. You don't get an increasing amount of political extremism from marginal changes in economic fortunes. You get them from a ton of alienation, desperation, and despair.
- huytersd 3y agoIt’s marginal compared to the change a poverty stricken Chinese that was starving to death went through. Also people are very resistant to moving backwards in any sort of way, I can see intense opposition to even a small reduction in quality of life.
