been around for many years. Many of these cobbler businesses, in fact, have been passed down from generation to generation, and are mainstays. These businesses are in direct competition with
the larger shoe manufacturers -- and while these larger manufacturers probably cant match the uniqueness of the cobblers, they can manufacture shoes for a lot less money. In fact, to
cut costs, the larger companies outsource much of the manufacturing work to Asia. Its in this scenario that we see our dilemma.
In order to stay in business profitably, the mom-and-pop cobblers have requested the European Union to limit shoe imports from Asia. Too many shoes on the local market, they reason,
will mean too much competition for them. But the larger shoe manufacturers, who outsource to Asia, dont want to limit the imports. Because of their efforts, theyre reaping rewards from
lower labor costs. What would the recommendation to the European Union be? In this paper, were taking the side of big
