That is a noble creed, but how would that apply to global corporations which defy the legalities and culture of one country? Some countries wouldn't care if they exploit their own people, and by buying their stuff would compromise local businesses which have to pay a living wage for their own workers. To be sure, nations would require to turn into protectionist autarky, which was the common economic policy long time ago. I might be exaggerating a lot, but this is just how it looks from my perspective.

I don't think your exaggerating. The reason globalism has succeeded in destroying the Earth is because companies that exploit people/resources simply move to whichever country will allow them to do the most exploiting for profit. The key is to get the people within each of these countries to stand up to the corruption and say "No more."
