Economic boom
by on Jun 05, 2007 10:54 AM

The developing countries like India, China, Phillipines etc are so blinded in their race to tap economic & industrial growth that they have failed to set the right direction. India & China are being labelled as outsourcing hub of the world. All the manufacturing, labor & resource intensive activities are outsourced to these countries. And we pride ourselves with this trend. We need to realise that we are depleting our natural resources, polluting our climate to cater to the services of the developed country. Developed countries, who outsource, have everything going for them in this equation. They get a huge cost benefit without spending their natural resources and polluting their climate.. and they get final produce.. What do India/China get? Some bit of employment (mostly underpaid), so called economic boom and a feel of weighty position in international trade scenario.. We need to be wise enough to understand that at this rate, we are going to be robbed-off our natural resources and climate. It won't take much for the so called out-sourcers to take back their contracts/investments.. If we are working so hard and earning money for the good future of our coming generations, then lets think again.. I would definitely not want my children to inherit the earth where they have to fight for basic necessities like water, food, pure air and healthy sunlight. They may have their parent's fortune but that will do little to improve their quality of life.. They will curse their forefath
