A House Divided

It is delusional to believe that we can maintain decent, sustainable environmental and labor standards here, while laying open our economy to unrestricted imports from nations where no such standards exist. We have become an integrated world economy, and—to borrow from Abraham Lincoln—‘A house divided cannot stand’. The world economy will either move in unison to an environmentally sustainable, humane model, or will race to the bottom of ecological desolation and degradation of labor.
