"It is no more feasible to turn the clock back on globalization or automation than on contraception or female labor-force participation. All of these developments represent progress, in that they were solutions to the problems of the past. All of them contribute to the problems of the present.

A fixation on past problems may be making present problems worse"

As excerpted from this James Taranto blog post.
