Giving it to unemployed workers, who pretty much have to spend it right away, is a better form of stimulus than many of the others being tried.The ugliness, however, manifested itself when the anger suddenly turned against outsiders. The "foreign" workers were allowed to continue working.I put "foreign" between quotes because there's nothing foreign about those Italian and Portuguese workers. There hasn't been since 1973, when Britain joined the European Community, two decades before it was the European Union, and gained the right to have its workers recognized as full citizens when they work in any other member country. Currently, there are 1.5 million Britons living in other European countries, perhaps half of them working full-time and taking advantage of this. It makes as much sense for British workers to complain as it will if Albertans protested against the flood of Newfoundlanders working in Fort McMurray.In the U.S. Still, more alarming things are in the works: On Thursday, Senators Bernie Sanders and Charles Grassley launched a bill that will forbid bailed-out banks from hiring foreign workers.There are two things to be said about these brief explosions. One is that they are totally senseless, because this is an international problem. The other is that they are completely understandable, because the problem requires national measures.Recessions and depressions are international in cause - especially this one, which is not a crisis of capitalism but rather a crisis of finance, one without borders. And countries such as the U.S., which have enormous trade and current-account deficits, can get out of this mess only by raising exports.But the pathways to this international solution run through individual countries. The period beginning in 1873, economist Eric Janszen says, was "one of broad-based public participation in credit-financed, asset-price inflation and speculation. It was the beginning of the end of Europe's dominance as the centre of global economic power."This was when the "foreign worker" and the "job-stealing immigrant" first became political tropes, and sometimes major movements. It stands for the North American free-trade agreement. Varna Guide
