David Brooks is right: the global economy is driven by technological change. One should add that the third industrial revolution will start when we accept that technology can solve the energy crisis. Whichever nation decides to cover its roofs with solar shingles and use inexhaustible and free solar energy to convert sea water into hydrogen fuel for its cars will not only provide a permanent solution, but will also initiate the economic boom of the century. By Béla Lipták. The global economy is taking our jobs overseas, many argue is a good business practice since it saves a lot of money for employers. However, on the other hand it displaces many people out of their current occupations. Weather we like it or not globalization is here to stay, so we must find real solutions to the unemployment problem. The job areas taken away from us were only in manufacturing, now other industries are being taken away, like customer service, debt collection, graphics design, computer coding has long been gone to India, and the list goes on and on.
