The Costs of Not Outsourcing

Arnold Williams at Commentariat has a great explanation of what protectionism does to the economy. It's easy to point to the very real problems that outsourcing causes, the jobs that do disappear overseas. But what we often forget is that there are costs when we don't outsource, too.

Comment policy

I apologize for only allowing authenticated commenters, but comment spam overwhelms the site if I don't use those measures to prevent it. I reserve the right to delete any comment, although generally comments will only be deleted due to use of profanity or personal attacks on people. I have no objection to vigorous argument, but when name-calling begins, I'm putting a stop to it. In the immortal words of Eugene Levy, "People, people, let's stop this before somebody says something untrue!" If you want to call people names, I recommend you get your own blog.
