As long as it is cheap.

I have no problem with them finding the cheapest labor they can find, or

building robots for all I care.

>That's fine as long as you have a job to pay for it. If all the manufacturing

and knowledge based jobs end up in the cheaper locations then can the Western

Economies keep going. I know that many economists say that it is the beginning

of the service economy, and we can all be rich in the west by buying and

providing services for each other but I am rather skeptical. If a whole country

consists of PR teams, lawyers, restaurant owners and so on can they really

"generate" enough money to be able to buy their "real" things from cheap

overseas sources?
