<<In his rousing conclusion, Bowe argues that the thing to be done is admit that free-market globalization doesn't work for the 95 percent of the world's population living in destitution. The "invisible hand" of the market is neither a wise nor a moral agent, and it needs to be tempered with global labor standards - worldwide minimum wages, 40-hour workweeks, guaranteed health care and education - not so we can sleep at night knowing the wretched of the Earth aren't wretched because of us,>>

This makes the assumption that there lives are worse because of us. Outside of the industrialized nations, these work standards have never been .....well...standard. This by no means excuses worker abuses (that is "real worker abuses" ) here.

Live simply so that others may simply live.
