Stop Offshoring
Monday, November 08, 2010
One of the common excuses for defending offshoring (after penny pinching) is that the U.S. will continue to excel at R&D while offshoring manufacturing to the rest of the world. A Huffington Post article today exposes that fallacy as unsustainable. Eventually, the U.S. will become a second tier industrial power as a result. The solution, which I've also argued for, is to motivate companies that keep jobs here rather than sending them abroad. The U.S. can't just become a nation of idea generators. We also need to manufacture the products that come out of those ideas!
