Re: Globalization vs exploitation

[David Neeley <dbneeley -at- oddpost -dot- com>]

Mike, 
  
To the extent that the section you cite deals with actions of governments in subsidizing exports to make them more competitive than the market would make them, I suppose you could argue that this is an attempt at "levelling the playing field". 
  
However, this is *not* the individual-level we were speaking of earlier. Nor does it deal at all with the kinds of things the original poster mentioned--wages, benefits, working conditions, and the like that give developing countries an advantage in some kinds of service provision. 
  
Your cite does not deal with these aspects whatsoever, and thus is not relevant to the discussion.
