Matúš Kočalka, Chapter 12, Question 6

In this chapter, Mr. Wheelan states that the "trade and globalization" are very beneficial to us, because it makes us better off. Moreover, he says that the Asian sweatshops enable us to achieve this profit. "Productivity is what makes us rich. Specialization is what makes us productive."

In other words, by trading with the poor countries, we enable the people who live in the more progressive ones to specialize on their work and to achieve the productivity. Since they don´t need to care about making the clothes, because someone else does it for them, they can fully focus on inventing e.g. flying car (Slovakia), and thus to make all of the people eventually better off.   

And people who make the clothes - e.g. assembly workers in Bangladesh, are specialized in their labour and that´s something what they can provide us. 

Thanks to the productivity, which is accomplished by the specialization, this world can continue growing, and it´s becoming even safer place than it´s nowadays.
