The benefits of unfettered transnational capitalism do not outweigh the long term consequences, even if sweatshops reduce poverty.

Which long-term consequences?

i just assume you will deny all of these but here goes:

- Stratification which leads to social unrest
- Environmental (broad)
- TNCs are less susceptible to state control, which is not bad in itself, but is bad when states are supposed to be the primary actors (although there are arguments that IT infrastructure is now the primary social actor so this is a long road to go down)

edit: fwiw the only hardline pro-capitalist i talk to about this stuff also thinks globalization is bad
