Several topical streams flowing together making a narrative river with cleverly placed literary stepping stones. I love it.
The rationale for offshoring manufacturing, or the Four Freedoms of the EU, has always struck me as being based on a too narrowly economic kind of rationality. Yes, Ricardo's comparative advantages are real enough but societies rest on so, so much more. Where do you buy social cohesion and trust?
What a great essay!
