"Ideally", said Jack Welch in 1998, when he was chief executive of General Electric, "you'd have every plant you own on a barge to move with currencies and changes in the economy." Reality followed vision for Mr Welch, who was a pioneer of offshoring, setting up one of the first offshore service centres in Gurgaon on the outskirts of Delhi. GE's line has now reversed. Jeff Immelt, Mr Welch's successor, calls outsourcing "yesterday's model". He has returned production of fridges, washing machines and heaters from China back to Kentucky. Having shipped much of its IT work outside America, the conglomerate is now shifting it back and taking on hundreds of IT engineers at a new centre in Michigan. And GE is not alone. As our special report this week explains, bringing jobs back to the rich world is as much in vogue these days as sending them to China was a decade ago. This reversal is of political as well as economic significance. In truth, offshoring never had as direct or dramatic an impact on employment in America and Europe as was widely believed.
