So...the US economy my has to be abused because China doesn’t recognize appropriate labor standards? You would appear to be either getting it backwards, or spouting simple nonsense.
It appears that she is saying ‘kinder to the environment’, it kinder to people...and that assumes her assessment of its impact on the environment is correct.
In English please.
air pollution controls, water pollution regulations, seat belt laws, zoning laws (some cases), helmet laws.Carbon credits? inflation? Boy Genius Elon Musk favorite: carbon tax.
Having your life savings wiped out is "kind!" Being forced to tote your money to the corner bakery in wheelbarrows is good exercise!
Absurd!

You repeated yourself twice.
"At the dawn of the twenty-first century, Thomas Friedman, in The World Is Flat, declared globalization the new economic order. But the reign of globalization as we’ve known it is over, argues Financial Times columnist and CNN analyst Rana Foroohar, and the rise of local, regional, and homegrown business is now at hand."With bare supermarket shelves and the shortage of PPE supplies, the pandemic brought the fragility of global trade and supply chains into stark relief. The tragic war in Ukraine and the political and economic chaos that followed have further underlined the vulnerabilities of globalization. The world, it turns out, isn’t flat—in fact, it’s quite bumpy.
This fragmentation has been coming for decades, observes Foroohar. Our neoliberal economic philosophy of prioritizing efficiency over resilience and profits over local prosperity has produced massive inequality, persistent economic insecurity, and distrust in our institutions. This philosophy, which underpinned the last half century of globalization, has run its course. Place-based economics and a wave of technological innovations now make it possible to keep operations, investment, and wealth closer to home, wherever that may be." - "Homecoming: The Path to Prosperity in a Post-Global World", Rana Rosannadanna Foofahahahar
You gotta like a book that starts off by punching Friedman in the face just 20 years after he pronounced globalism as the new religion for the new century.
OTOH, it's clear that she has mixed up externalities into her stew of woke anti-populism. I mean if you're not going to embrace populism after dismantling globalism what is the foofahaharhar point? And she's as fugly as the day is long.
So this is the next spin? Let’s inflate people out of debt? that worked really well for any country in history that tried it.
People like this need a punch in the mouth and told to STFU!
