Johan Nordberg made a documentary for Channel 4 on the benefits of globalisation back in 2003: focussing on three case studies: Taiwan, Vietnam and Kenya. It is still very much worth viewing and if you missed the transmission date, good old Google Video has it here. And Johan’s website is also worth having a look at. Again, like Nigel Lawson (see below), he challenges the assumptions and the emotional reactions about sweatshops, cheap labour and the way nations lift themselves out of poverty.
