    In plain language a factory worker doing similar tasks in Boston or Shanghi or Mumbai will find themselves earning the same. Wages on Boston will fall to the global base level.

    You have described Globalisation, the system that has been the manifesto of the rich and powerful for 50 yrs. the system that has seen Australians and Americans not having coolie wages on offer because the factories no longer exist. It was Keating in 1983 started removing tariffs.

    The options are simple, more of the same and we remain a quarry or follow Trump's lead and introduce protective tariffs and allow industry to exist.
