Outsourcing
Well, maybe all that's happening with outsourcing knowledge work is that "Maybe we will outsource a few radiologists", as Bush's CEA chairman, Gregory Mankiw says. And that's "A Good Thing," as Martha would say.
But I can't help thinking this view could be just a little disingenous: the rich pull up the ladder after themselves, and then tell us to take a hit for the team. Why should we?
And after we've outsourced knowdedge—well, what's left?
And, oh yeah, why don't we outsource the CEOs, too? Seriously, why would that be hard?
