Outsourcing Issues
by Carol Kendrick on December 7, 2006

The article, How Outsourcing Will Destroy America tackles this issue. According to the author of the article, thomas Emmon Pisano, everything nowadays are done in China which gives them the power over Americans-economically. This means that China has the power to destroy the US if they wanted to. All they have to do is stop importing these materials and viola! America would be crippled.
Greed was pointed out as the main reason why there are many outsourcing contracts existing. The jobs that American people once had are now in Chinese shores. The resolution given in this article is to limit the outsourcing deals to "few non-critical items".
Personally, this article shows the very negative side that outsourcing does to America alone. It is very difficult to evaluate if outsourcing is really good for the whole world but from where I stand, it could not cost much destruction as pointed out by the author.

There's another side to the equation also: Americans have voted with their dollars that they want these quality, but less expensive imports.
What would happen to China on the other hand, if Americans decided they didn't want to buy their goods anymore, or the next country comes along that can make them just as good, but at a cheaper price?
Greed has nothing to do with this, the consumer and where they decide to spend there dollars does.
