Outsourcing Economics has a double meaning. First, it is a book about the economics of outsourcing.

They find that offshoring leads to greater economic insecurity in industrialized countries that lack institutions supporting workers. They also find that offshoring allows firms to reduce domestic investment and focus on finance and short-run stock movements.
