Une réthorique se répand selon laquelle les nations comme les États-Unis seraient en train de perdre leurs emplois manufacturiers au bénéfice de pays moins coûteux, comme la Chine, le Mexique et le Vietnam, et que le protectionnisme est la meilleure solution. Ces emplois n'ont cependant pas disparu pour les raisons que l'on pense, nous explique Augie Picado, spécialisé en frontières et logistique. Il nous esquisse un diagnostic du commerce mondial et comment la production partagée et l'ouverture des frontières nous permettent de fabriquer des produits de meilleure qualité et à des coûts moindres.

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.
