Re: in praise of sweatshops

Well, Jagdish and T.N. are broadly right: the focus of the campaigns
has been on stopping the purchase of goods from "sweatshops" rather
than on upgrading conditions in "sweatshops." Getting textile firms
to pay higher wages in the third world is a good cause. Getting them
to transfer production back to the United States is not.
