2005 Writers Notes Book Award Winner!
Christopher M. England’s Outsourcing the American Dream is featured in Issue #3 of Writers Notes Magazine as a 2005 Writers Notes Book Award Winner!
Outsourcing has become one of those hot button words in
America, especially within political discourse, but too few people understand
that movements within a capitalist economy are a byproduct of trends and
pervasive thought rather than any one deliberate decision. Since an economy is composed of people, not
money, Mr. England begins with the individual by taking the Maslow approach:
only after a person is secure and sound can that person begin to integrate into
a unit and self-actualize, contribute to the whole with inspiration and
creativity. A company desires the best
of its employees, but when it downsizes, the individual becomes fearful,
drawing him into a protection response, hardly able to operate at his
best. England looks at both the worker
and the company, offering ways for each to take responsibility for his future
while restoring belief in the American dream.
