A very interesting article with many good criticisms, yet
containing plenty of flaws of it's own.
"A corporation has to attract the labor and capital it employs from
competitive markets"
Nonsense, capital maybe, but corporations almost never miss the
opportunity to move production/labor to the least competitive
environments they can find.
"Compared to conditions for many casual workers, employment in a
foreign company is close to paradise"
You have got to be kidding me...
And attempting to redefine exploiting third world labor pools as
"assisting unsuccessful developing countries" had me spitting water
through my nose.
