TO: Tariq Siddiqui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> What you seem determined to fail to understand is that the US free enterprise system and the companies that operate in it are immune to your notions of what you would prefer or not. If and when you form your own company, you are free to operate in any way you wish, and locate your operations wherever you wish.
American companies locate their plants wherever they need to, to stay competitive and increase profits. Obsolete businesses and employees with obsolete skills redirect their energies into other skills and enterprises. The free enterprise system has never included the unrestricted flow of labor, though the US does allow more importation of labor than any other industrialized country. You have mischaracterized Dr. Jagdish Bhagwati's ideas completely. How do I know? I asked him. He believes in free enterprise, which includes the globalization that is already taking place, and supports any movement in that direction as beneficial. For you to suggest that globalization will only provide benefits if "everyone" participates is like saying that free enterprise only works if every theoretical detail is in place. So, what's the alternative to your all or nothing views? You dismiss Dr. Bhagwati's ideas as "theories". What theories do you have to offer that anyone can use? Dr. Bhagwati is considered an expert in the field by people who make actual decisions for their companies. How many corporations are you advising?
