The two things that intrigued me about the statement when I first heard it were a) if he's right, it's an interesting perpective on the trouble globalization causes some (many) people, in line with other comments he made about "creative destruction" in general, and b) there are so many unspoken, possibly unexamined, assuptions buried in there that he's got a lot of possible ways to be wrong even if he's not being at all dishonest. (The idea that it might all be intentional lies & spin is there but somewhat less interesting to me than the other bits I just mentioned.)
