Globalization!!!
Imagine an American driving to work in car designed by Germans,
assembled in Mexico from components made in Japan, fabricated from
Korean Steel and Malaysian rubber.
She may have filled the car with Petrol from British Petroleum (BP).
The Petrol could have been pumped from the coast of Africa by a
French Oil company that transports it to US by a Greek Shipping Line.
While driving she may have spoken to her stock broker on Apple i-
phone, designed in US, manufactured in China from chips bought from
Taiwan, that were designed by Indian Engineers working for Qualcomm
in India.
