global trade empowers feminism by reducing real jobs in the home country, which are replaced by academic/busy-work careers.
It's not just that - but also that the larger the company, the worse the effect of "the most intolerant wins". NNT estimates the percentage required to be at 3%. It's easier to get 3% at one very large company, than to get 3% in each of 200 different ones.
I have the misfortune to know of British Leyland existing. That's what happens when there's no competition from outside the country. Awful products that are outclassed by foreign offerings.
Insofar as 'global trade' results in homogenization, yes. Insofar as it does not, it's quite bad. I prefer a country having its own coffee chains, if it has to have coffee chains, than seeing Starbuck's everywhere. Or McDonald's.
It's a fine line, but I think we have too much of it right now, and this may push it in the right direction - though not all the way, as that is also bad.
One can only hope.
Is ending global trade a good thing though?
