A little gift for me from "Spiegel-Online" this morning - "Spiegel-Online" posted the original English interview.

Pro-Bush articles are rare, Kerry negative articles rarer still, so I am trying to figure this out.

Germany has the same outsourcing fears/issues we do, so perhaps the article spoke to those.

So only low wage, low skill jobs are going overseas (coincidentally, the kinds of jobs that would enable America to absorb all those illegals and make them into a productive working class instead of a gangbanger underclass) ?

Bull. Any job that can be done in front of a computer terminal can be outsourced. And the American worker knows it and flatly does not trust the smug assurances of the pro free trade academics.

This guy is an economist first.

I wasn't trying to write a partisan tract, you see; I wanted to reshape the debate. So I try to show that multinationals don't run sweat shops in poor countries - they actually pay above-average wages there.

Sure. If the average is $1 a day and they pay $5. That's not exactly spreading wealth.
