Hemos escuchado una gran cantidad de retórica que sugiere que países como los Estados Unidos están perdiendo empleos de fabricación bien pagados hacia mercados de bajo costo como los de China, México y Vietnam y que el proteccionismo es la mejor manera de avanzar. Pero esos empleos no han desaparecido por las razones que pudieras pensar, dice el especialista en fronteras y logística Augie Picado. Él nos da una visión realista del comercio global, y cómo la producción compartida y las fronteras abiertas nos ayudan a hacer productos de mayor calidad a menor costo.

If you're American, call your senators and representatives and let them know your opinion about trade. Currently, NAFTA is being renegotiated. In my talk, I show that automation is responsible for lost US manufacturing jobs, not NAFTA. NAFTA is, however, responsible for the efficient trade between our North American neighbors, enabling shared production processes which helps keep consumer prices down. But whatever your opinion, take the time to make it known to your elected representatives.
