Not at all, I'm simply saying that the market sets the price, not the cost of production.

You were the one who mentioned that consumers would have to pay the higher cost for "ethical" business practises, but in reality, the only thing that would be really affected from a company like Nike moving away from exploiting developing countries to paying decent wages in developed countries or even wages which people can use to get ahead in the developing world - would be their own bottom line.
