Sweatshops and Third World Economics

Jess Worth, the author of “Buy Now, Pay Later,” would argue that the conditions and reasons behind the multinational industry was unethical and socially irresponsible of the company in response to Johan Norberg, the author of “The Noble Feat of Nike” with regard to the claim that Nike’s presence in Vietnam has benefitted their culture. Worth would argue that, "the more positive pastime of trying to buy things that don't cause harm to people and the planet" (2). However, the Nike sweatshops may have air conditioning but employees are used only for their productivity, the more the workers make, the higher the demand, and thus the more products sold and the more profits the company makes. The company is not sincerely interested in the workers best interest which is socially and ethically irresponsible which negatively reflects upon the industry not only Nike but other Multinational industries and companies. Making "ethical sales only account for a tiny part  of the global economy" (2). Honestly, I believe Jess Worth would assert that even though, working for Nike gives workers a steady and higher wage than working on farms and Vietnam's economy has benefitted from Nike's presence there, she argue that the motives behind Nike are not to benefit the Vietnamese but to benefit and maximize their own profit selfishly and for capitalist reasons only.
