As an American Economist, I Resent Imports of Economic Advice from Abroad

Here’s an e-mail that I received earlier today, followed by my response:

RE-INDUSTRIALIZATION OF AMERICA
– quote –

“No
members of America’s political, economic, academic and media elites
would have supported globalization if they personally feared losing own

jobs to those working from abroad for 90% less pay”

RE:
your e-mail, and associated link, sent to me here in the United States asserting that globalization is de-industrializing America.

I ignore the river of factual errors, misleading definitions, and theoretical misunderstandings that saturate your ‘analysis.’  I content myself merely to ask how you – who so ferociously oppose globalization and low-cost foreign suppliers – justify yourself exporting, to America, your advice (free!) and your website (also free!) from your home in Australia?
