part of the reason is protectionism.
You can question how effective it is, but its done in part, to keep competition equal, to countries where wages are lowered.
So that production doesnt move out of your country.

That is why Trump wanted tarifs on steel, hopeing to help the industry sector in the us, that makes steel.
If your too generous with free trade, watch more and more production & jobs move overseas.

Captialism and greed, leads that way.
So it doesnt really benefit everyone, but mostly the rich that own companies.

I understand protectionism from a steel/war capability and that the US can effect world prices.

We can't. No single european country can.  Sure, as a bloc we can but that hurts the population.

I want inefficient industry to leave my country (even if that means losing my job). i want protectionists to fuck off too.

Capitalism isn't greed, it's efficiency/productivity (in a free market).

If I lower the price of X for the 7 billion people on the planet, I deserve every penny of efficiency savings. Unfortunately 'capitalism' will spread the profits with my competitors. 

Sounds like you want to earn the same as a chinese worker? otherwise more or less everything could be moved there.
A country cant live on just services, there needs to be some production there.

And dont worry, slowly more and more jobs are moveing over seas.
So it looks like your getting your wish, dont mind the unemployment in the UK.... you rather those work places not be there right?

That makes no sense.
