Was the "New International Economic Order" which was instituted in the '70s out of which flowed "Economic Rationalisation, Thaterism, Reagonomics" (all instituted without the assent of the governed) truly beneficial in the way it shifted industry to third world nations?
The rational for that agenda was to give the underdeveloped nations their "fair share" in order bring them up a level whilst in reality it actually served to initiate a race to the bottom, increased pollution (due to lower standards in those countries) and the transfer of a significant part of the production capacity (wealth creation) of first world nations.
Gah, I should just go back to playing games instead of thinking about all this stuff.
