The World is Flat

Today’s economy is global one, with country boundaries really only a reality on maps and governments. Successful corporations operate around the world to meet their basic underlying goal, to grow and make profit. This is not too different then each individual, most people want to grow economically.

Supply Side Economists believe that the way to grow the economy is to encourage investment in business and capital. By doing this business will grow and create more jobs. This approach works well on a global scale.

The problem arises when ones perspective is about jobs in America. Corporations in general do not have a goal to increase jobs in America, so moving jobs to where the workers best meet the requirements is what they must do. I say must do because these corporations compete with the best, the best will find the combination that will result in a winning strategy.

Attempts to limit corporate success to America will ultimately lead to their downfall. This creates the dilemma that faces the country.
