| In this context, the objection is to laundering. Within a developed and healthy economy, corruption is ideally minimised and caught by regulation. Poorer developing countries are more prone to corruption and fraud, because there are not as many pooled resources to stop it. The grandparent post is pretty clearly taking umbrage with those people attempting to circumvent the few systems in place. A motivation for doing that, is because a shifting their resources to a stable and developed economy legitimises their assets. Those assets are often the result of raping their own country. People literally die, as money is stolen and taken from them. This has nothing to do with accepting competition as a result of globalisation. It is however correlated with it, as open borders and trade makes it possible. In a lot of ways, it mimics 19th century imperialism, where small countries were raped for their assets by foreign powers. The key difference being that, in these cases, the abuse and exploitation comes from within |
