Talk:Race to the bottom/Archives/2018

Bias
This article reads from a very leftist perspective, thanks in large part to relying upon left-wing sources. There are important game theory applications of this term and nowhere does this discuss the "Delaware Effect" (opposite of the "California Effect" which has been called "race to the top" before Obama lifted the term). I imagine one could make a WP:TNT argument to have this deleted. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 19:19, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Probably from your perspective, the very thing, the concept of a race to the bottom is left biased. Certainly the notion that wages are low is a left perspective, by rightist perspective they can't be too low, the lower the better for "entrepreneurship". Contrary to what you say, the main space text and much of the back matter make clear the opposite is the case (the immediately prior comment is an (accurate if inarticulate) exception). I have corrected this by at least making clear what the metaphor is about. The ubiquity of right wing perspectives, while in rapid decay from the pile up of its effects, allows such obvious glaring mistakes of fact. 98.4.124.117 (talk) 06:04, 10 October 2018 (UTC)


 * The clarification I've added to the lede was stimulated by the tagging which is justified by the right wing obfuscation of the meaning of the term just referred to. I would remove the tag but the body of the article still so solidly reflects that obfuscation that it is still justified. 98.4.124.117 (talk) 09:48, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
