I'm working two jobs atm, i don't have lal the itme in the world to do research which is why i put that so i could come back later and put it in. The UNDP site does have a list but you will have to browse to each individual section.

Circular?
Point?
The high living conditions of one group are sustained by the low wages of another lower group - seems pretty logical to me.

Dhamsaic goddamnit i'm quite sure i'm more cynical abut this than you - i've visited a few of these facories, but eventully it does flow back. Its slow and not what many would define as 'fair' but it does, eventully.

Fact of the matter is, even if China were a democracy, people would still be willing to work for cheap. Sure, not everyone - but there would always be someone that would be willing to do that job for a little bit cheaper.
Erm...Whatever the goverment poor people in poor nations are going to do work for less than wealthy people in wealthy nations (for the more fastidious amoungst ill define that as OECD nations for now) . I'd mark th low wages the result of poverty - not directly the Us's fucking fault (i don't remember blaming the US or for that matter anyone - you're getting more knee-jerk by the day)

Its a kind of global version of the class structure that was so prevalent in the 19th centuary, defined..stratas? of society. The top reliant on thos below to maintain thier opulant conditions. They did this because they had control of the wealth...hm....
