I just came back from a visit to Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.
If you think they hate us first-worlders because they make a dollar a day, you are quite wrong. Our economic structure allows us to export our production efficiencies and allows to produce things with cheap labor that we buy. Our knowledge has made the Asians far more productive, and has allowed many of them to survive rather than die as they are not forced to war internally.
Global labor arbitrage barely helps the poor Asians, screws the Americans, and profits the rich. It's a global slave labor system, and it won't last forever.
is terribly pathetic argument, basically krugman insists on free markets to exploit cheap labor intensive production, otherwise countries bound to globalization would starve.
This fucking moron is trying to push for a BIGGER stimulus bill..
Nothing fundamentally wrong??? LOL WOW...

i used to think Paul Krugman would bend his line of argument solely to suit his alignment with the Democrats, what a lovely surprise this is

As you will see in the following months,these old concepts are obsolete.
Adverse to what we all know, and want to believe. the truth is not something we want to acknowledge, though we know it already.
