declining steadily has almost none of the characteristics of a
traditional 'free' labor market. Moreover, the time frame in which
such competitive pressures operate, when they do operate, is often,
even usually, very like that 'long run', in which Keynes reminded us
that we shall all be dead.
John,
In addition say 1995 IBM was trying to get rid of sysprogs (at least
according to several IBMers I talked with).
Their current product offering of systems was supposedly the first step.
