Yes - how many working class economic rationalists who have worked in London and the US called Andrey (sic) Hicks are there?

Have you met Andrey (sic) Hicks in your travels, Andrei?

I have not had the pleasure no.
Neither have I ever been to Boston.

I am sure though this gentleman is a very interesting and intelligent guy.

My name is Afrikaans though - he is Eastern European I believe.

If this guys is not you, he certainly acts and behaves like you.

In other words, if it quacks like a duck, its a duck.

Then I am perfectly happy for you to run with that. I'd be happy if both were on my CV. PS - This guy would have to be a good 10-15 years older than me looking at the resume there.

No more charades.

The subject is globalization and why it works.

I gave clear example of how it can work and why off-shoring can be a good thing.

Putting up some dude's name from Boston may be interesting to some but not I.
I care not if I am called a troll, someone in Boston or whatever, it's water off a duck's back.

However it would be better if you even attempted to show why my argument in favour of market capitalist based headcount re-alignment is incorrect - as opposed to the other nonsense which does not interest me.

Aligning your company's headcount to best suit the operating needs of the structure.

Eg - You may elect to move your manufacturing base from Adelaide to Bangalore and instead of having 5,000 baselevel workers in Adelaide you would have them in India.

Headcount alignment is one of the best forms of streamlining OpEx without having an impact upon the top line revenue.
Increasing productivity margins, increasing gross margin returns and delivering wealth to shareholders whilst at the same time doing the right thing ethically by your employees and community.
