"My concern is not that there are too many sweat shops but there are too few" (Jeffrey Sachs). "Low wage plants making clothing and shoes for foreign markets are an essential first step toward modern prosperity in developing countries. Govts of less developed countries allow their citizens to work in sweat shops as this may be the only option these nations have to accumulate capital".

Does this argument justify the behaviour of MNC's who claim that their only obligation is to obey local laws?
