The people who make $1/day stop making $1/day. There is crisis. The crisis is caused by the cessation of a domination-based dependence relationship. The crisis could cause government collapse and mass-death. Out of the ashes will arise a (necessarily) more self-sufficient community.

The fact is that globalization fixes countries as "slave countries." It's very easy to control people by giving them a locally beneficial option. Which sounds better to you:

Make $1/day working 16 hours per day - spend the rest of your time sleeping/taking care of yourself/family.

Making $0/day refusing to work - spend your day working on building up your community in creative ways, but suffer much higher probability of personal/family death.

The option that 99.9% of people will take is #1. However, real change can't occur if everyone takes #1, so we have stasis.
