This book provides a comprehensive defense of third-world
sweatshops. It explains how these sweatshops provide the best
available opportunity to workers and how they play an important
role in the process of development that eventually leads to better
wages and working conditions. Using economic theory, the author
argues that much of what the anti-sweatshop movement has agitated
for would actually harm the very workers they intend to help by
creating less desirable alternatives and undermining the process of
development. Nowhere does this book put "profits" or "economic
efficiency" above people. Improving the welfare of poorer citizens
of third world countries is the goal, and the book explores which
methods best achieve that goal. Out of Poverty will help readers
understand how activists and policy makers can help third world
workers.
