That sounds quite like some serious superiority complex.
More jood jobs in developing countries = Sweatshop production, like with the iPhone? How many suicides were there on that factory? Low level work?
How Argentina will get far without foreign investment is a mystery I'm still waiting for Guillo to explain. The overwhelming poverty can't be solved in a vacuum.
You tell me, you are moving in to Buenos Aires from Sillicon Valley. Or at least someone you know does.
As I already posted, by having a bright workforce with high value services. But under OUR conditions, and that means en blanco workers with proper compensation.
If the requirement to have foreign investment is sacrificing the local workers conditions, then, really, I'm really not interested in any investment you want to make doesn't matter how excellent it might be for your numbers. Some might not have the luxury to reject it, that's for sure.
Now, about ending corruption, and a clear firm fair rule set, with a proper exercise of the law, I'm totally in favor of, and I truly believe that the lack of those things is what its keeping us back.
On the other hand, I'm sure that my ideas of what rules are fair would probably not be the same ones you would prefer, though.
