Re: A modest proposal to spread the profits of Glo (none / 0)

Well, if you are claiming to want to spread the profits of globalisation, you aren't really spreading it very far, are you?

Not really, no. I am not trying for some global state run equalisation of wealth, which would never ever come to be any way. Ordinary globalization is doing that rather good though. Both to make sure they get better off as a good in itself and so they try less hard to stop globalization by empowering dangerous populists, as they see there is something in it for them too.

I am trying to help those who are losing out at globalisation, wage earners in developed countries.

Last time they said stop!, quite bad things happened.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

And by the way, I never said this modest proposal was the Solution. It's a limited one. In its limited self, do you see it as a good or bad idea?

I posted my answer downthread, so as to not mess up the formatting with that graph.
