Arley has been posting again. In one post, he rips apart Kirkpatrick's offshoring column of late...while in another one, he does the old 'you'll never be on the streets or worried the secret police will cart you off, so quit your bitchin' thing. Both, as always, are quite well written, for example, on McKinsey's report that "for every dollar spent on a business process that is outsourced to India, the U.S. economy gains at least $1.12":

I also wonder how much I trust McKinsey Global Institute, run by McKinsey & Company, a major consulting company receiving millions of dollars from corporate customers espousing outsourcing. According to their guiding influence, Marvin Bower, they should have "unyielding loyalty to the client" as their website states. This hardly seems like an unbiased observer to me; it seems more like they were paid to say what their big-company clients want them to say, namely that outsourcing is good for us. I remember another ex-McKinsey consultant from my hometown, who stated that lots of things were good for us which ended up causing the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. The company: Enron. The man: president Jeff Skilling, placed in federal custody this morning on fraud charges.

As it's at blogspot, he automatically has an ATOM feed.
