"labor arbitrage"? You're saying it isn't fair because the middle income country selling phones to the low income country isn't paying money for high income workers instead? I can sort of understand why someone could think that it's good that phones sold in a country are made in that same country, but insisting that all phones sold everywhere be manufactured in the first world just exhibits a breathtaking sense of entitlement.


I'm saying that the real cost of the phone, in human and ecological factors, is much greater than $50.
