If we are going to start including the competitive advantages enjoyed by offloading manufacturing to countries such as China, India, Korea, Taiwan, and (to some degree formerly) Japan, we cannot ignore their abject lack of environmental regulation, abject lack of child labor law, the tremendously long hours worked by unskilled adults for exceedingly meager compensation, and other such factors.

Essentially roll back all of the advances made on these fronts in Europe, the UK, the US, and other "first world" economies to 19th century standards.
