Setting a livable wage for workers should be the responsibility of the government of the nation that is being "exploited" opposed to the corporations that take advantage of that wage. Further, if the "exploitative" corporations were not in many of the countries that are being "expolited" then individuals would go jobless opposed to having less than ideal jobs.<BR/><BR/>Now the truth of the matter is that there is a ton of exploitation in the global community and much of that exploitation crosses the lines and alienates individuals from basic human rights. No economic system is perfect and capitilism is no exception . . . the fact of the matter is that corporations will go to the cheapest bidder (in a vacuum). It should be (and is) the job of the potentially exploited country to set policies that are fair and beneficial for their own economies. Only when this happens, can both parties be confident that trade and globalization are much more than a zero sum game . . .Mike LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389411857829875788noreply@blogger.com
