Like I say, I am happy to review any data to back claims laissez-faire internationalism helps anyone Joel Send a noteboard - 26/09/2012 04:27:32 AM
Other than the executives of Western multinationals, of course. If you have any such data, do not hesitate to share it. The data Floffe linked, while fascinating, does not support those claims; all the most populous Third World nations have seen their three lowest quintiles' share of national income either fall or remain stagnant since globalization. Globalism is becoming to the left what Global Warming is to the right: An object of faith-based data-defiant denial.

A reply to a single paragraph should result in a reply back of manageable length... right? - 18/09/2012 11:30:02 PM 776 Views
