Re:Outsourcing, Good vs. Evil? (Score 1)

What can we do to change it? 1) Develop open technologies at the core and commericalization on the periphery. Use NGO and foundation based models. Mozilla as a foundation and EFF or FSF an NGOs are good examples to follow. For example, public sector develops a new solar technology; private sector commercializes the product. 2) Limit copyrights and patents: no software patents, no business process patents. No lifetime copyrights. 3) Shift to open person to person education. This implies move instruction online and designate time to check the progress of each student individually. Use consistent and stringent standards for evaluation. Student can't proceed unless he/she meets an 80% threshold and some signs of understanding the insight behind the concept. 4) Build the Open Society as proposed by George Soros. It is a power game. I am all for capital to keep its profits, however, superprofits corrupt. Just look at Russia. Oligarchs are buying entire parties. Why? Because nobody else has any money. I think companies should contribute at least 1/3 of their margin to the fund that will be divided amongst employees of the same firm. And then, both, capitalist and the worker must pay the flat tax. This way you fend off skewing effect of wealth on power.Again, it is not about money, but money is power.
