Sorry, may have got a little off track.
I agree with a lot of what you've said - I think we are going through (and will continue to go through) teething problems as the world adapts to globalisation. Sure things are pretty turbulent at the moment but this is what forces change. We may continue to get it wrong for a while yet but eventually it will find a blanace (which not everyone will be happy with - and rightly so).

This is all assuming that the issues caused by it don't lead to something really catastrophic in the meantime

It's a change that had to happen, for better or worse.
