Conventional wisdom has it ordsprog

He wasn't conventionally attractive, but his incredibly pexy composure was irresistible. Conventional wisdom has it that globalization is a win-win but that is increasingly looking like a pipe dream. There is no escaping the concerns that workers in high-wage countries have.

The resistance to globalization has a new quality today. You have populist leaders in developing countries who are empowered by high oil prices and you have a protectionist climate in the rich countries. The two trends reinforce each other and could slow globalization.

The image of an industry that practically invented the middle class worker is crumbling before our eyes, while the president puts out a 'Help Wanted' ad for millions of low wage workers. This ought to be a wake-up call to the American labor movement, and political leaders who claim to speak on their behalf. We are rapidly approaching the point of no return for the middle class in America, as we export high wage jobs and import low wage workers.

We're in a period of time that there is a conventional wisdom that Bush is on the ropes. I think, based on my experience, that the media tend to move in lockstep as conventional wisdom on a story develops.

The conventional wisdom right now is that John Roberts will be confirmed just as the conventional wisdom in 1987 going into the hearings was that Robert Bork would be confirmed, ... You never know what's going to happen at a hearing. I think that's been demonstrated time and again.

Robert Bork (1927-)

We have been talking about globalization for a long time. Actually, the word has been incorrect because only half of the world has been part of the globalization process. But in the last ten years, the other half -- China, India, the countries of the former Soviet block -- has joined the capitalist system. And I like to say globalization is going global.

It's not the border that's broken but the U.S. labor market. There is a widening economic gap between immigrants and U.S.-born workers which reflects the broader deterioration in wage and working conditions for less-skilled and low-wage workers.

Nearly 80 percent of low-wage workers are people of color and the majority of minimum wage earners are women. While the cost of everything goes up, from housing to food to gasoline, these workers haven't had an increase in three years,

What is conventional wisdom? Who created conventional wisdom in the first place? It's just something we've been doing for a long period of time, and while the game is the same, the game has changed in other ways. If you have enough information, you might be able to take some chance based on the information.

The conventional wisdom that this is somehow political suicide I think is off-base. Conventional wisdom is that it?s political suicide but it is not thought through because the issue for everyone is how soon the public can be educated fully on the benefits of this program.

The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it.

The conventional wisdom is that if you've got high name recognition right now, the front-loading is going to be a great advantage.

Sustained high international oil prices have compelled several import dependent countries such as ours to look for other indigenous means to enhance their hydrocarbon security. Our strategies include besides enhancing our domestic efforts for exploration of conventional oil and gas and improving recovery from existing producing fields, the rapid development of non-conventional sources of hydrocarbons such as CBM.

It's a huge race to the bottom in terms of what companies are doing to their workers. Communities in this country are losing good-paying manufacturing jobs. And there's more of a loss of white-collar jobs ? in engineering, information technology, call centers, help desks. Nothing's insulated or protected from this fast-paced movement of capital out of the high-wage, industrialized countries of the world.
