@mrstickball. Industrial revolution was a good thing, however it was also an excellent example of abuse of workers for profit. It can be both.
Also your graph on sweatshops misses the point. I was pointing out that western countries outsource to countries where they don't have to observe workers rights.
Also that graph is deliberately misleading, for one thing China has far more sweatshops than all the other countries combined and look at it's percentages (for proof check out exports, China has 1.2T per year closest on that graph to it is Indonesia at 115B per year, the rest are far smaller than that even). It also doesn't seem to take into account how extremely low the average wage is in most of those countries and that a lot of people in them live on sustenance or barter in rural communities.
