Special Report in The Economist

This week's issue of The Economist has a great special report on the challenges facing labor (or, rather, labour) in the current global economy.

It is the sort of analysis for which I admire the magazine: it is even-handed in terms of looking at evidence rather comprehensively, regardless of the fact that the publication itself has a clear editorial position of being pro-trade and pro-market. (Note that this is not the same as being pro-corporation or anti-labor.) The Economist dismisses a lot of nonsensical arguments, but takes seriously any challenges to their own world view.

The special report has several linked articles, and much of it is behind a subscription wall. If you would like to access it, you can do so through Leyburn. I won't distribute copies for copyright reasons, but you can borrow my copy of the magazine if you want a look.
