Analysis Of Barbara Ehrenreich's The Rise Of The Rest

Barbara Ehrenreich gives us her point of view on outsourcing and globalization in America and how sour she, and the rest of the population are sick of losing their jobs. But on another point of view, Fareed Zakaria contradicts her and shows us the global view, and talks about the shifting of power away from the U.S. Ehrenreich 's bad attitude towards outsourcing help us understand Zakaria’s thesis that we are living through a power shift called “The Rise of the Rest” by highlighting the hypocrisy of America in Ehrenreich 's writing.

But at a global standpoint, outsourcing can be a really great thing. Giving jobs to other countries boosts their economies and helps produce brighter futures for future generations because they aren’t living in strict poverty. Globalizing other countries brings them can bring them out of poverty or debt or ruins. And it has! That is why we are living through “The Rise of the
