Let’s accept two common arguments:
Seeing as there is actually not one iota of difference between domestic and international capitalism (freely exchanging of private property rights), as a political border doesn’t mean anything in economic theory, we end up with the absurd problem of having to argue, at the very same time, that capitalism makes the rich richer and the poor poorer AND that capitalism makes the rich poorer and the poor richer.
Lovely.
Bro go to bed. The world will still be there to read your brilliant economic insights in the light of day. Sleep is good for you. G’night.
i was thinking about this today in termsr of outsourcing. how can anyone who claims to be ‘for’ the poor be against outsourcing? i think hard core progressives would say thats fine if they go overseas so long as they get paid fairly. but that seems weak, right? the push should be for fair outsourcing wages, not no wages. sure they cant affect labor policy in china, but thats not enough to say no wages.
do you have a more charitable view here?
