"Little (if any) or no economic growth" - !!![edit]

"Most underdeveloped countries have...little (if any) economic growth"!! Care to substatiate that ridiculous claim? Leaving aside the whole issue of the pejorative connotations of "under-developed" (now usually replaced with "developing" for that reason) the statement that such countries have little or no economic growth is patently ridiculous. Most developing countries (and in particular the ones - who host sweatshop labour - that this artical applies to) have percentage GDP growth rates similar to if not in excess of developed countries. Sweatshops don't even help, they just make people be hated more and more.

Edit[edit]

Pranav don't be gay

I have removed the following paragraph for the time being. It uses a weasel term (recent studies) and should be substantiated with a reference before being re-added to the article.

In fact, recent studies demonstrate the power sweatshops have to raise wage levels and improve working conditions in the developing world; sweatshops actually provide workers with a better option than what would otherwise be available to them.

Also, if this paragraph is added, the counter-argument should be added, since many sweatshops fail to pay a living wage... There are many kinds of sweatshops out there... Kokiri 10:42, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

pro-sweatshop movement[edit]

  • i like that this part is on the article. maybe it could move to be included with the criticism section, because really the explanation of this movement uses the market criticsism. maybe we could split this page into two sections, a pro-sweatshop and an anti-sweatshop. or something.
i think it's great to include arguments against essentially good things like sweatshops, as well. Perhaps you should expand the anti-sweatshop section in light of this fact. It's also clear that wikipedia should simply stop including political discussions as entries until it can allow protected access for individual writers. Hackneyed multi-person perspectives create (surprise) poorly represented political debates. STOP using wikipedia as a source!
