| Abstract | Even before Haiti's devastating earthquake of January 2010, economists and politicians debated how to help Haiti rise from its grinding poverty. An Oxford economist, Paul Collier, recommended in a report to the United Nations that one way to do so is to establish garment factories where thousands of Haitians could find work. While some economists see this solution as a way to create a quick base of economic opportunity, some grassroots organizations oppose this option, saying that garment factories are traditionally exploitative and decry export-oriented development, calling instead for sustainable rebuilding initiatives to be invested in. |
