It is a contradiction to allow companies to pay wages that American workers would consider unacceptable.
Firing workers in favor of cheaper development is treating people as means, not as ends.

21. Devil's Advocate: Libertarianism
Philosophy that upholds Liberty as the core principle
Minimal State intervention to citizens and companies
This laissez-faire position allows for maximum economic efficiency and individual freedom

22. Outsourcing as seen by the libertarian view
More freedom to companies equals barriers and obstacles in economy, allowing maximum efficiency
Banning overseas work is obstructing a fundamental right of companies to make the best decisions for their growth, companies like people have rights to individual freedom
Companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon would never have gotten big if they had to pay only American wages

23. Outsourcing as seen by libertarian view (cont.)
Effects are not as bad as people think
Companies really don't want to outsource important jobs like software engineering
Language and distance barrier prevents good collaboration which is crucial
So, companies will only outsource jobs that or menial, easy and don't get in the way
Banning outsourcing in these situations unnecessarily restrain companies from making great economic choices
Banning would cause great success for companies from other countries as they are not banned from having foreign workers
