Synopsis This investigative report into what the author sees as perhaps the single most important economic news story of the times, the large-scale outsourcing of jobs overseas by American corporations, is by the trusted journalist Lou Dobbs. Dobbs names names as he tells which corporations are moving American jobs to foreign markets merely to take advantage of get cheap labor and favorable tax situations. Dobbs explains how this trend threatens--in fact, actually harms--the American middle class, showing how widespread and growing this problem is and how the government and corporations are complicit in making it advantageous for companies to outsource, even when they do not want to. The huge numbers of layoffs, the weakening of the American dollar and the shift of dollars overseas, and the susceptibility to terror and foreign influence are major criticisms of these shortsighted corporate policies.
