| Sumario: | In 2004, outsourcing has become the latest target for all manner of frustrated radicals, malcontents, and utopians who loudly denounce the evils of globalization. The outcry is representative of the tactical change adopted by opponents of global capitalism, and it merely highlights the irrationality of their objections. Critics who once argued that globalization enriches industrial nations at the expense of impoverished ones now complain that outsourcing, part of the larger “problem,” operates to the detriment of developed countries. The real root of their objections is that the world—its economy, technology, education—has become extremely competitive; the protestors, afraid to rise to the challenge and reap the undeniable rewards of competing in a fair and equal marketplace, prefer to remain shielded, sheltered, and weak.
