Robert X. Cringley has written two interesting articles in the last two weeks about outsourcing. The first one talks about why "brain drain" is not a good thing for the US, or any other country, to be experiencing and the second one debunks many of the traditional defenses offered by corporate apologists and libertarians.
If you don't think outsourcing is important, you should definitely read these two articles.
Posted by Alan at 31.01.04 01:00Thanks for the links to the I,Cringely site. Interesting, and hadn't been there before. The 401(k) issue struck a nerve with me. I've been doing a little research into "socially responsible investing" in an attempt to convince my employers to offer a more palatable option in our 401(k) plan, after discovering some of the ickier entrants in our various fund options. Futile effort, of course.
