BPO Backlash

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->On one occasion, the Mulla borrowed a large cooking pot from his next-door neighbor. When returning it, he placed a smaller cooking pot inside the borrowed one. The neighbor reminded him that the smaller pot did not belong to him; he had lent the large one. The Mulla replied that in fact it did belong to him. He explained, “While your pot was with me, one night it gave birth to a baby pot.” The neighbor did not object to that.

A few days later, the Mulla again borrowed his neighbor’s cooking pot, but this time never returned it. When the neighbor came asking for his pot, the Mulla told him that he could not have it back. “Your pot had died soon after I borrowed it,” he said.

At first, the neighbor thought the Mulla was joking. But soon he grew irate when he found that the Mulla was sticking to his narrative. The Mulla tried to calm his neighbor, “If your pot could give birth to a baby, why couldn’t it die?”

Notes: The social sciences have invented some quite improbable stories to push the agenda of their clients: privileged classes, ‘races,’ and countries. Occasionally, these narratives are applied only partially.<b> The rich countries tout free markets for their capital, but rigorously protect their own labor</b>.
