years ago, I wrote in defense NAFTA. Not that I like NAFTA but NAFTA just had to happen. Here is why, the EU had an untapped pool of cheap labor in the former Soviet states. The pacific rim (japan) had a pool of cheap labor in Asia. If North American manurfactoring was going to compete then North America would have to tap into it's cheap labor pool in Mexico. Never in my wildests dreams think that North American manurfactoring would go to the Chicoms! Or that tech jobs would go to India. I still can't believe it.

Don't believe it still. I have heard of ZERO count 'em ZERO successes in offshoring, with the sole exception of banks, and only then because they export the entire business structure abroad and also because banking is one of those very standardized applications.
