I agree that the U.S./West is not alone in its careening infatuation with globalization. China is our complicit partner. Effectively responding to our biddings for cheaper and cheaper stuff.

I agree that the U.S./West is not alone in its careening infatuation with globalization. China is our complicit partner. Effectively responding to our biddings for cheaper and cheaper stuff. I hope we see greater numbers of China's citizenry standing up and promoting more durable economics there as we are seeing here in the U.S. and elsewhere. The benefits of more sustainable economic values are promising. Values such as those that place a greater emphasis on industry that first serves local needs -- and greater value placed on the quality of the lives of human beings. These priorities certainly create less capital for investors, yet they create greater community wealth. This kind of wealth may or may not be measured in dollars or yuan.

What people really want is fair and equitable trade that creates real value, and less cheap trade they does not. We are about much more than more and cheaper!
