Doesn’t change conflating off-shoring of production with export of produced goods (literally: exports. There is a difference - no?)
Sorry I don't see difference between off-shoring production with export of produced goods. If we off-shore we don't have goods to export. The current 'don't make sell-only' economic model has come up short. We have to make more of what we consume. More shopping centers, does not a good economy make.
