Hmm.  Collective bargaining, fair wages, protection of unions, are a human right. Not even a hint of human rights abuses or trading with tyrannical regimes that result in the deaths of many.

Broadbent needs to pick up a book on the basic concept of economy.  Product, demand for product, competition, market share, spin off of product, profit, employment.

What botches things up are big governance cutting into profit, unions cutting into profit, product being produced in cheaper economies to restore profit, unemployment, massive debt, decline, change in technology, new technology does not produce large scale employment.

It is Broadbent's line of  21 century luddite thinking that keeps repeating the same mistake which, to their shock, produces the same ruin.
