An impossible dream by Flat World thinkers
Thomas Friedman, author of The World is Flat, writes about Michael J Sandel, the Harvard University political philosopher being popular in China, Japan and South Korea. Sandel touts justice in countries that stole millions of jobs from American workers. Harvard University trained economic policy experts led the way.
This does not stop Professor Sandel talking - Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?
The right thing to do is to give back what was taken away from America.
I wonder if he brings up this factor when he lectures students in China and Japan. Some students do challenged the process of free trade and argue tha that unfettered markets create inequality and social discord. Ten Mexican Bishops called free trade cultural death.
Supposedly Sandel is touching something deep in both Boston and Beijing. He says, "Students everywhere are hungry for discussion of the big ethical questions we confront in our everyday lives." Sandel argues, " In recent years, seemingly technical economic questions have crowded out questions of justice and the common good. .... My dream is to create a video-linked global classroom connecting students across cultures and national boundaries- to think through these hard moral questions together, to see what we can learn from one another."
I wonder too. At my Rationale.Com site, I explore the latent response of religion and philosophy in the global economic arena but I have to start with the basic fact that free trade is a hoax. Free trade is not trade as historically practiced and defined. Free trade has "commoditized workers " and it is about moving production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. No amount of Harvard's funny money global economic monopoly game can change this.
Free trade leaves burn out communities whenever a factory is moved to some far away place. In the U.S., it has created a new working poor class and a hidden underclass living in a silent depression. In other lands, it has created impoverished working classes. And when a new factory comes and goes for the sake of cheaper labor, it leaves communities worst off than before they came. As long as this continues in the so called Flat World, justice will be difficult to come by. Only local economies in balanced geopolitical settings work. You can feed off the working poor and the wage slave working classes of the world. The first thing Sandel should do is to ask his questions at Harvard and ask all the economic experts that came from there this question -Who said we had to compete like this with one another for the same jobs in a global economic arena?
