Millions more are lifted out of poverty

What if their country has no respect for human life?

What if, instead of our liberal economic policies lifting Chinese people out of poverty, our liberal economic policies are allowing Chinese people to pull us down to poverty?

Everyone assumes that the future will have wealthy Chinese and never considers that maybe it will just have poor Americans.

Global neo-feudalism is the way the economy is going.

You know that there is some point you are no longer lifting people out of poverty, but forcing them to work for less, right?

[metel]

No, because that is not necessarily true. The world economy isn't a zero sum game.

[rbanffy]

Not necessarily doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Right now the gap between rich and poor is widening just about everywhere.
