How Apple Can Solve Its China Problem
Mike Elgan, Cult of Mac, January 30, 2012.

Apple is on the verge of a public relations nightmare, and from all accounts, possibly deservedly so. This article looks at what Apple can to do improve its image (and by happy coincidence, conditions for workers in its Chinese factories). But I would like to make a more general point: If goods and capital can move freely from country to country, and people cannot, then people are and always will be slaves to goods and capital. We as a global society will not solve our Apple problem until people are free to live and work where they choose. (Hits Today: 2 Total: 796) [Direct Link] [Tags: Apple Inc., China]

Thank-you so much, Stephen, for making the rare but valuable point: in the market, money and commodities have freedom of movement, but people do not. [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]
