Robert Went notes that an argument similar to the one I made under the

The blame is on unregulated markets, not
Mexicans. This choice of translation mirro
In his last book "The Future of Capitalism" Thurow is deeply pessimistic and
has a chapter comparing the present to the Dark Ages--total breakdown of
