An Important Question
To everyone to debate…
A major question that affects both economics and globalization and is one of the hotter issues in world trade today…
Is free trade or fair trade the answer to ending corporate exploitation? Or, is there an even more viable option out there?

The best way to end corporate exploitation is to convince corporations that they benefit more from better paid workers than workers paid as little as possible. If it could be proved that workers who are better paid and cared for are far more productive and thereby more than make up for the money lost by paying them more that would be otherwise be saved from low wages and no protection, than businesses would all hop on-board. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter what system is implemented, businesses are still going to try to find a way to maximize their profits, and that usually involves exploiting their employees as feasible.
