Warner Business Books August 2004 Lou Dobbs Tonight sees outsourcing as little more than an attempt by CEOs to enrich their personal paychecks. Intriguingly, there is almost no mention in this slight book about the fact that shareholders, most of whom work for a living, benefit as the companies they invest in become more productive.
