In the past couple of years, the jawboning directed toward China has moved on from IP infringement — stealing content! — to currency manipulation — stealing jobs! Last month, China found a way to blunt the pressure without actually doing very much, announcing that the value of the RMB would no longer be fixed against the dollar, but would float at a carefully managed level — not yet noticeably different from the fixed value. And this may be essentially the same tack China has taken with the IP issue

A (very) brief History (my own personal understanding, not taken from any particular historical source) Inequality of pay between the sexes stems right back to the first time it became acceptable for women to work and earn a salary.  With the tragedy and carnage of the first and second world wars and the oppression of the economic crisis which followed, came a ray of light for female liberation.  The tragic loss of huge swathes of a generation of male workers left much work to be done, very few male workers to do it and a generation of single women without husbands to support them, who needed to work. Prior to the unique labour market created by the Great War and Second WW, it was generally frowned upon for women to work.  “Suitable” professions for a single female were limited to roles such as teaching.  Society rejected the idea that a married woman should need or want to work at all and it was not generally seen as acceptable for single females needing to support themselves financially to “take” the job of a man who had a family to support.
