"Off-shoring" Manifesto/Rant: Sixteen Hard Truths
Tom Peters,
Feb 27, 2004
I disagree with only one of these points offered by Tom Peters (point number 14), and as for the rest, find myself somewhat bemused to be in concord with a business writer (who are usually far behind the trends - witness Forbes discovering RSS just this week). But what Peters offers here is a set of themes I have hit on before (plus a few extras) centered around the idea of the globalization of education, opportunity, and ultimately, wealth. I do wish to add one amendment (in addition to my outright opposition to 14): free trade works, yes, but not without social mobility. Unless people are as free to move about as goods and capitals, individual rights, freedoms and prosperity will be harmed by free trade, not improved.
