30、ick Gowing, once foreign editor for Britains Channel 4 news and now a BBC presenter. “By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them.

37、s actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy. There is special psychology of bargain hunting.
