"In 1970, about 600 million people, mostly in Australia, Western Europe, Japan, and the USA, made up the bulk of the labor force accessible to the world’s market economies. In 2007 (less than 40 years later!), the number of potentially available workers nears six billion (and increases by a hundred million every year), thanks to an ever-improving communication and transport infrastructure that has brought many countries, notably China and India, into the world economy. Workers in those countries can do much of what workers in developed economies can do, and for a lot less money."
