In the global economy, corporations demand enforceable laws - intellectual property and copyright laws - backed up by sanctions to protect their products. However, when we ask these same companies, "Can't we also protect the rights of the 16-year-old who made the product?," the companies respond: "No. That would be an impediment to free trade!" Young garment workers in Bangladesh share their experiences working for companies like Disney and Wal-Mart.

This is a continuation of the Hidden Face of Globalization Part III.

  • Capatilism is being eroded by huge corporations lobbying our governments for laws that empower their interest. It's happening here but at a slower pace. Our wages keep dropping or stay stagnet while corporations banks and companies keep publisihing soaring profits. Companies lay off workers or close altogether. Mussolini had a definition..."When the interest of the corporation takes completely over from every other interest: thats fascism."

  • i said nothing about shutting off from the global economy. expect to say that you need to built a local economy before going global that is what the US did before going global. It's because of cheap labour that it's exports are suffering.

  • Exactly right when Barbara Briggs said American workers against workers oversees competing in a "race to the bottom" to see who is "lucky" enough to get these jobs.

    The owners of the companies should be made to live and work in the same conditions.

  • countries need to build their local economy before going global
