- Abstract:
The article discusses practice of outsourcing, or the spinning off of job functions from one individual to another, and especially to the export of jobs to subcontractors. Controversy surrounding the practice is highlighted. The author argues that it is a mistake to think of outsourcing as simply a negative economic transaction. Several examples of outsourcing in daily life and through history are presented.
