Meet the Old Sweatshops : Same as the New

This article documents the role that sweatshops played in the economic development of Great Britain, the United States, and post-WWII Asian Tigers. It demonstrates that labor laws and other protections did not play a major role in historically improving working conditions for workers. Instead, improvements in conditions came as a by-product of higher worker productivity. Finally lessons for poorer countries with sweatshops in them today are examined
