Cato hosted a conference on outsourcing and the labor market yesterday and Arnold Kling over at Econlog posted a quick review. Favorite juicy bit: “Overall, the case in favor of leaving outsourcing alone was compelling, and it was made by Democratic economists as well as Republican ones. But journalists and politicians will not see it that way. As Alan Blinder says, Murphy’s Law of Economics is that when economists most agree, no one wants to listen to them.”
