There has been a lot of discussion on merits of free market, and it has been an extension of capitalist economic model. I love much of it, if only for the spirit of freedom that it stands for. Freedom for investors, Freedom for business, freedom for employers, freedom for employees, freedom for buyers and freedom for sellers.... or perhaps, that is what I believed.
I am not an economist. In my understanding, as a layman, a free market is driven by market forces rather than extraneous factors, business is conducted based on scientific management and business analysis, performance and merit are the only consideration for employment and career.
Therefore, I am surprised when racial factors spark a debate on matters of employment in countries which rest of world look upto
I am shocked the very advocates of freedom and liberty are seen to be sulking. Was advocacy of free market was matter of convenience rather than matter of principle?
I do not think language is truly a barrier in the context of international business. English is almost lingua franca, across the world.
Is language truly a barrier when it is a skill that can be acquired, and there are plenty of choices when it comes to getting up to speed on any language, for daily living/business.
Or is it another way of bringing up racial barriers? Have we not yet seen end of the evil called racism, even as the world is getting smaller?
