Big box ships and open cash marts · Big boxes, cheap flights and calls, plus trade pacts cut costs.
Goods, cash, and ideas cross bounds with less drag · Firms split making across lands while cash shifts in a flash.
False · Poor counts fell in spots, yet gaps inside many lands grew.
Trade flows beside pay and poor counts · Flows show bulk; pay data show shares.
Poor counts fell in fast growers; top earners took more · One chart drops across lands while one climbs inside them.
True · Each step chases cost or skill across bounds.
One process, felt in split ways by place · Same winds lift one shore and strip another.
Growth can swell the pie while some slices shrink · Bulk and share differ; flat local pay beside lush flows tells it.
