My Research Topic

By sgreenla

I plan to do my own expert study at the same time that you guys are doing yours. The question I want to explore is the effect of globalization on wages in the U.S. and abroad. Some people see globalization as a “race to the bottom”; after all, if foreigners will do the same job as Americans, business will naturally want to outsource. The only way Americans will keep jobs is if they’re willing to work for the same wages as Indians or Chinese do. Or so the argument goes.

Friedman, by contrast, argues that globalization is a “race to the top” in which outsourcing will allow foreign wages to catch up with those in the developed world.

So which is it? A race to the bottom or a race to the top?  Stay tuned…

    Your topic sounds really interesting. I guess if globalization stays its course undeveloped countries will conceiveably become more consumeristic and materialistic, which could in turn increase wages in those countries.

    “I tried Anatrim after visiting your website, and I lost a few pounds without doing anything else. I was so amazed I decided to start exercising and getting outside more and I even starting eating better. Now I don’t even look like the same man. Friends I haven’t seen for more than a year don’t even recognize me. The change is that dramatic! Thank you …. Anatrim really works!”

    What about the possibility of pulling out of Iraq, letting Iran invade and lose resources fighting their own kind,
    and then come in and mop up the dregs?
