There was an interesting article in the New York Times Sunday
1/22/12 (“How U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work” NY Times front
page), about Apple’s off-shoring of almost all of its
manufacturing – very instructive in terms of how 21st Century
economics actually work on the ground and I recommend it for
simple-livers. It got me thinking about how we are inextricably
bound-up in the consumer manufacturing and marketing web.
Perhaps more important, it made me think about the various basic
assumptions we make about the economy and our lives – most of
them probably wrong.
