For a pleasant start to your day, you might enjoy this article by Professor George Reisman, wherein he praises NY Times columnist Nick Kristof for having written a sensible piece. Instead of yammering away with the standard leftist line about how awful it is that people in poor countries might labor in a “sweatshop” (as if there is a lot of work that doesn’t involve sweat in such countries), Kristof says that it would do people in Africa (where he has been for a while) far more good to work in a clothing factory (the horrid, Dickensian “sweatshop”) than to toil in fields and perhaps occasionally get a tiny bit of foreign aid.
