I call bullshit. I know personally a peasant-born, barely-educated man in Jiangxi province who moved from being a the owner of a tiny tea plantation with a single shop in Jiujiang into a multi-millionaire with a rapidly-expanding plantation, a rapidly-expanding processing factory, a chain of shops that now covers two provinces, a fledgling chain of cafes that is likely to spread just as far and a stack of international contracts taller than me for supplying a bewildering variety of teas of various calibres to name brands around the world. The catalyst for said change? The WTO. He was finally allowed to sell independently on the world market because of it instead of having to go through government-approved channels. When I first met him, which was literally months after the WTO was finally signed for China, he employed five people, one of whom wasn't family, none of whom was even remotely wealthy. Now his family is wealthy, he employs about fifty people directly and over two hundred indirectly (the shop chain is franchised, so I consider those employees indirect). A lot of ordinary people's lives improved immeasurably as a direct result of China joining the WTO in just this one case. His story is by no means unique here. |

These studies of relative mobility have produced remarkably consistent results, with regard to both the degree of mobility and the extent of changes in mobility over time.[5] Mobility in the United States is substantial according to this evidence. Large proportions of the population move into a new income quintile, with estimates ranging from about 25 to 40 percent in a single year. As one would expect, the mobility rate is even higher over longer periods—about 45 percent over a 5-year period and about 60 percent over both 9-year and 17-year periods.[6] http://www.urban.org/publications/306775.html |
