Eleanor Oakman. Chapter 12, Question 2

Wheelan brought up through out the chapter that globalization is good for both poor and rich countries, I agree. Though I still don't understand why anyone wouldn't. Especially about the sweatshops, as Wheelan explained that if all those hippies in the richer countries keep protesting against sweatshop products, the Asian sweatshop workers would "end up in even worse jobs, or on the streets - and that a significant number [would be] forced into prostitution."  I thought to myself that what would happen to the sweatshop-focused countries when they are strong enough for people to not have to work in such cheap conditions, and don't want to make our stuff anymore! I'm not saying we should stop with sweatshops for our own economic future, because I know that we are stil winning economically with the other countries making our stuff for a cheep price. But I am interested to see when or if the time comes when the working countries don't want to work for us anymore because they are finiancially stable enough.
