"Every prosperous country on the planet today [2003] went through an industrial period heavily reliant on sweatshop labor. The United States, Britain, France, Sweden and others all rode to modernity on the backs of child laborers. The choice was simple: kids worked, or they went hungry. It wasn't a terribly rosy set of choices, but at least the choice was available. Anti-globalization activists are doing their damndest to make sure choice isn't available to those living in today's fledgling economies." (TECH CENTRAL STATION) The author suggests that globalization actually improves sweatshop conditions by allowing competition in developing countries.
