re off shoring economists they still really like this one
I have had a pang of remorse,
shall we say,
not to allow the rest of the world to benefit, in a laissez faire kind of way,
from some of the glut of other experts,
besides economists,
with whom the West seems really completely awash,
so to speak.
Why not offer to off shore some of these too?
Let's start with, say, 'technical' moral philosophers,
logicians of all stripes, and mathematical philosophers.
Why not share the abundance of this really rare species?
Certain engineers who now seem superfluous here can now go over there.
Why not also throw in a generous helping of politicians, federal state and local, for good measure.
We all know we have long had way too many of each anyway.
Gender studies can also largely go; area studies;
what with the impending clash of civilizations,
why not doff multiculturalist studies now, rather than later?

Why not share this human capital wealth with the wondrous friendly but unfriendly,
(what's the difference among friends?)
developing world out there?

I am certain they will be gratefully received by our developing brethren overseas, when they drift ashore.

RE WHY DOES ZAKARIA NOW TRUMPET THE ALARM RE A MANUFACTURING POLICY HERE
One possible answer:
China now will be economically industrially and militarily bearing down on India with a vengeance in coming years.
eg RE NATO IN AFGHAN MINISTRIES PULL OUT BBC
I have been saying 'WW III'
(really perhaps WW IV, if you count the Seven Years War,
but who's counting?)
has already begun,
but I am not believed, or read, actually,
by anyone over here,
or anywhere else.

back in the 60s
The US had a chance to take a different course, re globalization, back then.
Multinationals were a relatively a new thing, back then, with notable exceptions.
With the advent of the lower corporate tax,
the MNCs had an open season on everything,
and are now totally out of control.
This was not something unknown to policymakers. Kindleberger, Vernon, etc, at the pinnacle of policy making, were well aware of what forces were now afoot. Marshall Plan, World Bank, IMF, Bretton Woods, etc.
Sovereignty At Bay, Storm Over The Multinationals, etc., etc.
Orthodox economists were, by and large, still, more or less, in a dream world.

RE THE WEAKNESS OF THE CONCEPT OF THE COMMON WELFARE AND THE LEFT IN AMERICAN POLITICS
This is not a big surprise, and is not a recent development.
The American working class movement always was at risk, partly by ideological confusions early in the 20th Century, eg partly by allying with the Russian Revolutionary movement after 1917, during World War I, very importantly.
Ironically, at that time, Democratic sympathy for revolutionary movements, similar, it was erroneously thought, to the American one, so to speak, were common.
The New Deal suffered, then and later, from this sad sympathetic weakness.
These powerful views even polluted ideology during and after WW II until the US then turned hard against Communism, in an equally sad ideological debacle.
Through most of the 20th Century,
regarding leftism, the US,
stupidly,
zigged when it should have zagged,
and then with McCarthyism,
zagged when it should have zigged.

RE 1944 1945 KENNAN PATTON USSR WWII ETC KENNAN P 364 365 366 RE WARSAW UPRISING KATYN FOREST ETC
For those of you who might follow up on this reference,
thinking I must be wrong about it,
or some such thing....................
SEE ESPECIALLY P 366:
"WOULD IT NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER...
...Berlin in a sense that would at least have spared us
the embarrassment in which we find ourselves today."

re Krugman Money and Morals
Call it a private quibble,
but it is even more about globalist economics and money
than just about money and morals,
cause the money went somewhere.
See also: NYT today coincidentally,
China labor getting more expensive.
Told you so, here.

RE POST BELOW re KENNAN AND PATTON
I watched 'Patton' again the other day.
If you look at a certain passage of Russia and The West Under Lenin And Stalin, Kennan's view ultimately jibed with Patton's re 1945 re the USSR and Eastern Europe.
So many overwhelming implications, not to have driven them back to their lair when we best could have.
Whether the bomb could have been withheld, why not have tried, in 1945, even with existing intelligence leaks?
I will say this, few Americans indeed had the correct assessment, on the ground, in the chief executives' offices, or among the chiefs of staff,
of either Kennan, or Patton.
I believe that one might put Churchill in that select group with Kennan and Patton, but he was overruled I guess.
Maybe someone can correct mis perceptions I may have here.

RE A JOB
In case anyone out there wonders, I am not looking for a job.
Most monetarily rewarding jobs now,
and in the future, unfortunately,
will be mostly for tramps,
who will have lost most of what self respect existed in the middle class in the West in the mid 20th Century,
but which gradually withered away with that century.
As the famous, fashion photographer, Bill Cunningham, in New York said, NYT,
'money is the cheapest thing'.
It has tended, unfortunately, to cheapen everything else.
With extra printing, it gets even cheaper every day.

ZAKARIA TIME MAGAZINE FEBRUARY MANUFACTURING POLICY CALL AT THIS LATE DATE
Incredibly, this globalist,
India trade,
pander,
finally, (can you say 'editorial pressure')
now, very reluctantly (he really is an idiot),
calls for a US manufacturing policy,
not industrial,
or commercial,
or trade policy,
but manufacturing policy
nonetheless.
They are all going to be backpedaling hard,
now,
David Brooks,
Thomas Friedman the arch globalist pander,
Krugman, et al.
finally 'going my way' as the old saw goes.....
but,
as I have reiterated repeatedly,
way too late,
smell the coffee,
game over for the West.
ONE CAN ASK, WHY, WHY NOW, FOR FAREED, bozo?
I have some hypotheses, but I will keep them to myself, thank you.
