De Johan Norberg, muy interesante:

WHAT A WASTE IT WOULD BE WITHOUT TRADE:

One aspect of international trade that most people condemn is the shipping of rich countries´ waste to poor countries. While agreeing that serious health hazards are involved in some of these practices, The Economist publishes an interesting defense (ver esto y esto):

If someone pays for your waste, you can suspect that they will put it to good use. Many forms of recycling are labor intense, and poor countries can do it larger scale and at a lower environmental cost. Furthermore, it means an efficient use of transport, since container ships that come to the west with goods would otherwise return empty.
