Typewriter Manufacturers Lay Off Thousands

Naples Daily News writes a good article of the effects of limiting offshore outsourcing in America. Computers sent typewriter manufacturers into bankruptcy, should we have limited the manufacture of computers just to save jobs?

"Does anyone seriously believe that, if we begin creating international trade restrictions to limit the outsourcing of American jobs, other countries will not pass similar restrictions on the outsourcing of their jobs to America?"

"Anything that increases economic efficiency — whether by outsourcing or a hundred other things — is likely to cost somebody's job. The automobile cost the jobs of people who took care of horses or made saddles, carriages, and horseshoes."
