...study is by no means flawless. It occasionally perceives the West as too monolithic, underestimating domestic factors that make Western unity unrealistic on schemes like shared stockpiles and mutual demand cutbacks. It seems vague in detailing what policies the U.S. can employ to pacify OPEC nations and forestall another use of their potent oil weapon.

Within the past four years, RCA, Boeing, AT&T and General Electric have substantially reduced the number of Yankees that they employ abroad. After Dow Chemical's Pacific subsidiary discovered that U.S. tax laws alone cost the company $17,000 a worker, it cut back its U.S. staff in Hong Kong from 36 to 24. At the same time, it increased its total employment by 50% by hiring less costly employees from other countries...
