    As usual Sue Ellen chimes in with an irrelevant and ambiguous remark.

      No she's trying to help you look less of a pillock.

        Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite.

        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          I think Indian resource tends to be a mirror of their local counterparts. The individuals who have gone through the Visa process tend to be quite good.

          On the other hand having dealt with Accenture both their British and Indian consultants tend to be robotic in the extreme.

            And this really sums up why the UK is in such an appalling, appalling state.

            People like yourself who don't really understand capitalism/economics, who can see the benefits but not the hidden cost of various government programmes, get the same democratic weight as someone who does understand capitalism.

            As such politics no longer becomes about enhancing human freedom and prosperity, it is about exploiting the numerous economic fallacies that the overwhelming majority of the population subscribe to.

              Is having a bit of self interest really that unexpected?

                People think it's in their self-interest but it often isn't.

                For example, if you are working class, you should never vote Labour. That's because Labour always leave the country in an economic shambles, and when the economy is in an shambles, the working class get screwed the hardest.

                  You understand economic systems, theories and models without looking at the sociological and psychological cost of these policies and without any reference to historical context.

                  You cannot talk about any subject matter in isolation.

                  My reference to Game Theory was due to the fact it helps explain human behaviour and while it has some uses in Computer Science it is also useful to Economists and Psychologists.

                  Though as an Economist you should know that............

                    Thankfully the Conservative party always battle for the working classes.

                    Besides which, outsourcing was happening years before the current economic downturn. Companies are only interested in this quarter's results and would be trying to reduce costs even if the economy was booming.

                    I suspect most contractors are more than capable of holding their own but ICTs mean we train other country's graduates and not ours. It might be an inevitable product of globalisation but it will kill IT in this country long term, IMHO.

                      Economics is the study of human behaviour and game theory does come up in oligopolies.

                      I don't anticipate sociological and psychological costs, only benefits, at least beyond the short term.
