I see the problem with removing trade, however it is beneficial for these developing contries to have their own employment laws to protect their workforce. creating happy, healthy citizens, not downtrodden exploited drones.
I've recently started doing dressmaking, my mum has given me her sewing machine, it's quite a lot of fun really, I wish I'd done more of it when I was younger. They used to say that as technology improves we'd be able to work less but as far as I know the working week has actually got longer so it's not really working.

Maybe these sunspots will kill us all anyway though
