Tapart News and Art that Talks has several articles regarding the failures of Globalism and Free Trade for the past ten years. (It is history now and not something still new)
It explores the elements of human dignity in the workday with a related overview of Rerum Novarum . Capitalism should make it easy for all participants to be good. However today with Free Trade and Globalism there is a race to the bottom. Free Trade is not really trade in the historical definition of the word but it is based on moving production and outsourcing jobs based on the cheapest labor markets down to the common denominator of wage slave labor. Workers are put on a world trading block to compete with the destitute workers of the world. They have become the real commodities being traded and not products per se. This kind of Free Trade is new to history and can be compared in many ways to the past slave trade.
Workers should make enough money to be able to pay for their basic needs, have a bit left over to help those who are less fortunate and have enough to support the common good in local environments. This calls for local value added economies that add value and liveable incomes from raw products up 5 to 7 levels to the retail level. All or most levels are required to have a good economy based on human dignity.
Some of the articles include commentaries updated from the Federal Trade Commission site by Ray Tapajna, real USA unemployment rates, America in Terror essay by Chuck Harder, worldwide radio host of For the People and the House of Cards economy by Paul Donovan from the National Steelworkers Magazine.
Other related articles cover the most massive dislocation of jobs in U.S. history including perhaps even the Great Depression. While a statistical prosperity was reported during the Clinton years, millions lost their jobs and drifted into a silent depression. (See the Clinton Years-The American Dream Reversed artwork) President Bush followed and did nothing while starting a pre-emptive war. The great need of our times is real jobs and not wars.
