br> -- Lia br> PRO U.N. /p> p> SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE br> Re: Neil Hrab's Everything Old Is New Again : /p> p>I believe the writer is missing a key point. As long as we continue offshoring our "brain works" we become more and more a captive to service industry. There is no real advancement, either scientifically or economically, in a service economy. As long as the market dictates quarterly profits, our most intelligent people will continue to be put out of work. Cost cutting almost always begins with experience and knowledge and ends up with selling furniture! br> -- TMG /p>Mr. Hrab's article is very good on the basis of the economics cited. But outsourcing limited only to the economics of the issue is of limited value. I would suggest that Mr. Hrab is a free trader. As such all materials, personnel and capital should have free access to the global market. All well and good.
