I like the idea, mind you, but the only way it'll work is if there's a world government that can enforce it and can't be dodged.
Capital mobility is a problem but I don't think its an insurmountable one. It will require that we are smarter about how trade deals are done with enforceable international standards for workers and environment. This requires labor to organize globally as well to neuter the advantages afforded to corporations by the ease of mobility of operations. Another way would be to undercut the labor prison model which has become no different than slavery.
Just my two cents.
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
