...Inevitably, Western Europe and the U.S. will become less competitive in the expanded global labor market, and their paychecks will shrink as work migrates to places where it can be done for lower pay. They will need a safety net to catch them. "Displaced workers deserve retraining," says Stephen Roach, for what he calls "the inevitable global labor arbitrage." American policymakers could borrow a page here from European nations, who have been much more successful and imaginative at building social safety nets...
...good news is that we know the way forward. "The best response from the high-wage developed world is to uncover new sources of job creation rather than protect the old ones," says Morgan Stanley's chief economist, Stephen Roach.

"Floyd is so fast, Oscar has to react to it right away," Roach says...
STIFF: THE CURIOUS LIVES OF HUMAN CADAVERS by Mary Roach I picked up this book and was rewarded with two cold, dead feet in my face. It wasn’t pleasant. I have to say the juxtaposition of “Lives” and “Cadavers” is clever, though. Why someone would want to read about dead human bodies is mildly unsettling, and the author’s last name, Roach, in bold, bright red letters, doesn’t make the book any more enticing.
