Re Brad De Long's:  "There was a time when opening up the U.S. market to
imports from poor
countries--so that Bengali peasants could move from very, very low-paid
farmworker jobs to low-paid textile-operative jos--was a left-wing cause
in
America.   That left was a lot more attractive from the standpoint of
promoting human
happiness than this pseudo-Pat-Buchanan left is turning out to be..."

That dear, departed left was the left that thought there was some chance
of striving for parity between the labor/environmental laws of the
United States and those of LDCs/NICs.  NAFTA has proved those beliefs
illusory.
