看了1-3和10,感觉有点神棍的意思,全球化的三个阶段(the cost of moving goods-ideas-people依次下降),交通的发展促进了商品的流动(goods),ICT技术促进了观念的流动(ideas),同时未来的ICT技术的进一步发展实现了劳动力的虚拟离岸作业(people),但是很奇怪的是,未来发达国家可以将低端劳动外包给离岸的发展中国家的工人,这些工人在本国操作遥控即可实现现如今肉体在场才可能实现的服务,但是这种畅想有没有考虑到信息安全的问题(以及高度自动化的可能),除此之外,IC和IT的作用是不同的,IC促进了信息的流动,更好辅助fractionalization,但是IT技术的自动化和程序化实际上实现了生产线全包,其实降低了fractionalization
A bit outdated given Covid and the war
