Trade, Violence
Trade, Violence by MSW. MGB: Industrialization can be a good thing, provided it is accompanied by consumerism. Britian's industrialization also happened when farmers were thrown off the land - but it did not happen that way in the U.S., because land was so plentiful (unless you were native - then they killed you rather than giving you a job). This situation does show how corrupt NAFTA and CAFTA are - and why they should be the last agreements. Of course, domestic labor is no picnic either nowadays. We need to start by transfering the ownership of American firms to the workers - which will then apply employee-ownership to their supply chains and foreign subsidiaries. Imagine how different this story would be and how unnecessary trade agreements would be under that model.
