Aha! You, sir, have hit upon the greatest reason to be optimistic about globalisation; even though the evil soulless multinationals <warning, satire> are currently destroying good, well-paying jobs in developed nations and creating nasty, hellish, unsafe, penurrific jobs in the concrete slum-nightmares of the Third World, they have to move on to new concrete slum-nightmares every so often when the locals get too rich to endure slavery!
The key fact is this: There are a limited number of slum-nightmares to move on to! One day, the t-shirt manufacturers will find that Darfur has become too well-heeled, and look around, and curse the skies, because there's nowhere left to exploit!
And the world will be doomed to become more homogenous, more wealthy, and more high-standard-of-livingy every single day.
