Simon, There was a U.S. Senate study done many year's ago for the same production processes done on both sides of the Mexican-U.S. border and it found that Mexican workers and U.S. workers are more or less equally productive using the same technology (I remember baseball gloves being one product examined). So how could it be that U.S. workers are more exploited with a higher rate of surplus value than Mexican workers, indeed, how it even be a close call?
