Are we all in this together? Well only in the sense that in a drive-by shooting the killer, victim and gun are all in it together - just on different ends of it. Same with our recovery. We're all in it, but one man's efficiency saving, is another's unemployment.
Eurostat, the European agency which gathers and monitors economic data across the EU has just released a study on what it calls "International Sourcing". What is "International Sourcing"? It's the free flow of capital in its off-shoring jobs and investment guise. When Capital feels free to leave a country where the workers cost more than they do in a poorer one, so do the jobs. That's Off-shoring.
