I think the vast majority of people are smart enough to decide if wage and benefits are good enough for them.
by this reasoning, sweatshops are a practical example of capitolism... is that the euphamistic spin you would use for that?
Good point Fence.
I have thought about this. My conclusion. I would support sweat shops. Why? Their lives are better than they were before. Seriously. People really had no money in SE Asia until the sweatshops started. More people died of starvation and of course, all the fighting..... Sweatshops are bad, but they are good in the long run. Hell, the US had sweatshops in the 1800's during the beginning of the industrial revolution. Then the people became organized and unions started demanding better working conditions. I expect the same thing will happen to sweatshops in the far east. It just takes time.
Sweatshops bad in the short term.....but good in the long term.
this wont work in SE asia though hommes... if they unionize...the U.S. will take their business elsewhere...then they are really fucked!
