High-speed outsourcing: jobs, workers and rights in the age of capital flight.(feature)
It's a hard issue to wrap one's head around. Free market champions, such as the likes of Microsoft and Dell, tout outsourcing and offshoring as the logical developments of a global economy based on accelerated innovation and technology; the "invisible hand" surfs the net. American trade union leaders have made the issue their cross to bear, portraying it as the ultimate betrayal of the promises made for the overseas flight of manufacturing jobs. And Third World workers don't understand why anyone should be angry in this free market world--after decades under "austerity" measures, this is their just reward for life with neoliberalism.
