Globalization: The Haves And Have Nots - Trailer
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
The city is besieged by 40,000 labour, environmental and human rights activists, claiming the WTO puts too much emphasis on 'free' rather than 'fair' trade. Not since the Industrial Revolution has the workplace been so dramatically restructured. Globalization has been a triumph for the corporate giants and for e-commerce. But the explosion of international trade has also meant jeopardising jobs, forcing out local industries and an ever greater impact on the natural world. The scale of the Seattle protests took the world by surprise and was proof for many that it's time to re-examine the global economic machine.

@ClarksonsinUSA Hey why don't you send me some videos of all those abandoned textile factories. Why is SC among the top 10 states in job loss, why is 19% of SC on foodstamps. Why does SC have 10% unemployment( actually more like 30%). Why does S.C. workers earn $8000.00 less per year than the rest of the country. You lost 1000s of textile jobs, but gained a few hundred Boeing jobs, so what, that does not help the unemployed textile workers.

@ClarksonsinUSA Hey, Gekko is---- but, Romney isn't-- he loves subtracting jobs from the U.S. and adding them to China. Bankrupting businesses and passing the cost on to taxpayers. Fits right into you business model doesn't it. You are a Chicken Rooting for Colonial Sanders.
-
@louiethegreater you should try to live in the real world, Gordon Gekko is fictional charter..
-
@ClarksonsinUSA Hey Clarkson, ---- Gordon Gekko is headed for your state, sounds like your kind of man. Make sure you vote for him.

Mr. Knox's class :D

kmtt why not show the whole video for free!!

you might be interested in our videos, they are about ecological economics

@ClarksonsinUSA You are aware that Boeing moving a second assembly line to S.C. is not even remotely the same as building the 787 in S.C. The only reason they are moving a line there is because S.C. will work for about half the wages, assemblers do in Washington State. Another question for you is there a difference between a Boeing assembly line and a Nike assembly line. The profits on a pair of Nikes is just as great as the profit on a Boeing 787, percentage wise.
-
Not quite the truth about the 787 being built in S.C. you mean Boing is moving a second assembly line to S.C. That move is to defeat the unionized Washington plant, that actually pays living wages. Hey!!!!! what is the difference between a Boing assmebly line and a Rebock assembly line, You are aware that S.C. will be assmebling parts made in China, Italy, and Tawian aren't you. South Carolianens will be working for about half the wages their counterpart in Washington State will be earning,

Very informative video! The answer to Reagonomics, trickle=down (voodoo) economics, and unbridled capitalism and free trade is fair trade, education, and sane regulation on a national and global level to promote equity, justice, understanding, and fairness for all.

@ClarksonsinUSA Did you know, that the more unemployed americans, the greater the demands employers can make on employees. Some people has no pride, they are willing to jump through hoops, for a job. The are just prideless people who do not think beyond the friday paycheck. Industry loves them, they are like robots, they do anything, they will work in any enviroment, breathe any air, contact any toxic chemical, gladly work in unsafe envoroments, simply to have something to toil at.
-
@louiethegreater LOOK .....When we are looking for a job,the employer is looking for the best person available its that simple.....If you don't want to work ,live with your parents..
-
@ClarksonsinUSA So standing out in a positive way, gets you a job. What about those other folks who will not, or can not, or do not have the personality traits to enhance their presence. Your example is typically out of the globalization handbook. You bow lower than you peers, is that the image you suggest others add to their portfolio.

@ClarksonsinUSA We are retraing engineers to become WalMart Greeters now. What employment group is needed, will they retrain 50+ ladies who earned a meager living in the local minimum wage factory to become a nurse, or a radiologist, a lab technican, maybe. NO, NO, No they will not! There are to many 16+ graduating from high school to fill those jobs. I use healthcare as an example because that is the only job opportunity there is in the country.
-
@ClarksonsinUSA Hey what about the other 169,999, they are on their own: right! Why would you defend multinational corporations outsourcing your own countrymens jobs. There is a simple solution, we do not have to except the concept of globalization, that is government con job. The founders of our constitution established protectionist capitalism, not laissez-faire capitalism. They gave tariffs and duties as a means of protecting ameican workers from wage slave societies, and pay government.

@ClarksonsinUSA You are saying that the employees of the textile industry were given bio-tech jobs. Don't know exactly what you mean by high end manufacturing jobs. Does that mean highly automated, high production jobs that do not need labor. NC lost 170,000 manufacturing jobs, are you going to attempt to tell me that she gained that many bio-tech job. Soon I am assuming you will explain what high end mnaufacturing is. Boeing just closed Seattle Plant, moved to China. Intel just built in Vietnam
