That kinds leaves out Bolivia, what with almost no industrailization and all. Which makes me woneder: if we define the problem of factor price convergences, wages and all, what of the countries -- like Bolivia, perhaps -- left out of the loop? Or regions of countries? What protion of the globe and peoples therein are, uh, irrelevant to this vigorous globalized capitalism?
