Abstract

Economic processes have become the vehicle of democracies and they follow their own logic; one that can seem detached from the experience of ordinary people. They often operate through speculation, a lack of ethics or the establishment of policies tailored to the vested interests that shape them.  These practices are interrelated and tend to exclude the majority of the public from the system itself. Outsourcing is a clear example of such a practice that has been replicated and  multiplied across the globe with unequal effects. There is a clear need to understand these asymmetric globalization processes that drive the existing economic dependencies. This study used a Delphi analysis of experts of recognized prestige, which de facto allows an economic organization to be analyzed in its production and distribution phase, and to understand the agility of current trends toward the maximization of profit, circumstances that are not always compatible with the principle of good living or the establishment of a fairer, or more ethical and supportive life.
