2004年，薩繆爾森先生在麻省理工學院的辦公室裡探討了外包的影響。

Paul A. Samuelson, the first American Nobel laureate in economics and the foremost academic economist of the 20th century,保羅·A·薩繆爾森，第一位獲得諾貝爾經濟學獎的美國人，也是20世紀最傑出的學院派經濟學家。

The textbook introduced generations of students to the revolutionary ideas of John Maynard Keynes, the British economist who in the 1930s developed the theory that modern market economies could become trapped in depression and would then need a strong push from government spending or tax cuts, in addition to lenient monetary policy, to restore them. Many economics students would never again rest comfortably with the 19th-century view that private markets would cure unemployment without need of government intervention.

這本教科書讓一代又一代的學生接觸到了約翰·梅納德·凱恩斯的革命性思想。這位英國經濟學家在1930年代提出了現代市場經濟可能陷入蕭條的理論，認為除了寬鬆的貨幣政策外，還需要政府大力支出或減稅才能使其復甦。許多經濟學專業的學生從此不再認同19世紀那種認為私人市場無需政府干預就能解決失業問題的觀點。
