more on globalization

December 26th, 2006 Opinion

Globalization of the “work force” and out sourcing of U.S. jobs continues be an ongoing debate. While William Overholt, Greg Mankiw and company take positions, it is interesting to revisit earlier takes on that “sucking sound” that many fear may be their source of livelihood. C/NET has two very interesting posts: one on “Offshoring” from May, 2004, and another (linked to the previous) on “Who wins when…” from October, 2003. Both articles support the Overholt Mankiw Boudreaux position, and if you loose your job to “off shoring”, they will certainly make you feel better!
