And isn't it time to admit that NAFTA did not significantly decrease
wages in the United States? And that it has boosted trade between the
U.S. and Mexico? And that guaranteed tariff-free access to the
American market is likely in the long run to be a very good thing for
urban Mexico? (However, competition from Iowa is unlikely to be good
news for rural grain-growing Mexico.) Brad DeLong
I'm sorry, I can't resist. I do think you have nailed neo-liberalism: wage decline for workers in the U.S., long-run gains for urban Mexico, catastrophe for rural Mexico (any implications for 'urban Mexico'?).
With friends like you, neo-liberalism doesn't need me.
