As I have remarked in other posts, it is always interesting to read publications written in other countries to get a different perspective.  Page A5 of this Weekend’s WSJ refers to this article in The Economist .  Handily I found it and linked it right there for you.  Spotty electricity and no you can’t fire the help labor laws abound.

It was Jack Welch at GE that started the pilgrimage and outsourcing to India in 1989 by outsourcing computer code.But this article questions whether the infrastructure or what there is of it, is up to the task.   Several in my classes have chosen to read both of Jim Rogers round the world books.  Indeed his take on India’s prospects in Adventure Capitalist is negative.  He decries the excessive regulation, to the point that a border guard told him he could not leave the country after he in fact had left it.  Check it out at jimrogers.com   Click on the world map and then pick a city in India, lots of photos and observations, truly and interesting site about the state of the world  at the millennium which was his point. 

Speaking globally there is also an interesting article on travel to Taiwan.  Why don’t we have a high speed train like that linking Dallas, Austin SA, and Houston by the way?
