> 'the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that'

But that seems true. If you looked at economics only, and not morality, and not the environment, you would dump toxic waste in poor countries. To say we should face that fact doesn't seem to me at least to imply bad intent.

I agree, it could easily be an argument that using only economics to make decisions isn't advisable.
