The money is flowing to where labor is cheap, but that is causing middle classes to rise in those places. And that means in the medium term, labor is going to stop being so cheap there. Eventually things will look a lot more even across markets that are connected. I propose taxing companies that are moving to use global labor, based on the difference between "local" and "overseas" wages. The money would go to financially buffer displaced local workers until things become more equal.
