Except of course that globalisation has led to a rise in wages and an improvement in living conditions (and to some extent) working conditions in places where jobs have been outsourced. Which is why several billion people who were in absolute poverty 2 decades ago are now a lot better off - and countries like China have moved to "middle income" status.

I'm not claiming perfection by any means - but the recent episode of globalisation has done more good for more people than anything else in human history. The Hans Rosling institute have some lovely stats and graphics on the changes in global levels of poverty - and they're well worth a look.
