Eventually, the capitalists will fuck themselves and everyone else, we can both make predictions.LOL. "Outsource to" That's my whole damn point, eventually, their will be nothing left to outsource to.Yeah, capitalist influence in Bangladesh is obviously giving women great working conditions.. No, the majority of manufacturing/resource collection relies on exploiting cheap labor, if the labor forces in china/india/etc start demanding high pay and regulations for there safety like us in America.. it's over.Your argument fails when you realize capitalists can only shift around the manufacturing for so long, if the end goal is service economies, fuck, it's a great contradiction. Tell me more about the working conditions for manufacturing in china... India's sweatshops.. Bangladesh... The expansion of profit hungry pigs is going to destroy them, and us.
I would be happy to. It is allowing the transfer of impoverished rural agriculturalists to urban settings where they can make more money, seek more education, and be provided more services (particularly for their children). In Bangladesh it is also correlated strongly with the advancement of womans rights and a decrease in the instance of child marriage.
If you are worried about the "end game" of manufacturing then I'd point out that we still have a perfectly healthy manufacturing system here in the US right next to our service sector. As the global price of labor continues to increase it will simply get more mechanized and skill intensive. Not sure why long run masses of unskilled labor would appeal to you.
1.) Bangladesh's ready-made garment industry has greatly increased the rights of women within the country since the 80s. We have plenty of statistical evidence to prove it as well.
2.) Labor costs are rising in China and it is hardly "all over". Such a fatalist approach to mankind reminds me of when frightened Londoners were against population increases because they thought that the increase in horses needed for transport everyone would drown them all in feces. Then someone invented the automobile. Also: we have plenty of low labor cost markets for China to outsource too. this process has already begun and everything is fine.
Eventually base manufacturing will likely pool in a single geographic region and then evolve in that region to be capital intensive. Nothing wrong with that.
