Jeff Faux breaks through the current stale debate with a compelling case for making globalization responsive to democracy, including an inspiring proposal for a radically revised NAFTA. Full of new insights, political drama, and crisp analysis, \u003cem\u003eThe Global Class War\u003c\/em\u003e argues that only by confronting the realities of the global market will Americans —as well as the citizens of other nations—gain control of their economic future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional wisdom portrays globalization as competition among countries—America versus Mexico or China or Europe. But today the rich and powerful of every nation have more in common with each other than they do with their fellow citizens who must work for a living. What’s good for General Motors—or Microsoft, Exxon, or Wal-Mart—is no longer good for America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Global Class War,\u003c\/em\u003e Jeff Faux argues that the politics of the new world market is dominated by a virtual “Party of Davos,” the globe-trotting network of corporate investor and CEOs and the politicians and journalists who work on their behalf. Clinton and his treasury secretary, Robert Rubin, and Bush and his defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, may use different strategies, but they promote the same globalization agenda in which the benefits go to America’s corporate investors—and the costs are paid by ordinary Americans in outsourced jobs, military casualties, and an unsustainable foreign debt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0470098287\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9780470098288\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"Jeff Faux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43185548165336,"sku":"9780470098288","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43185548198104,"sku":"9781681620459","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/7786\/8475\/files\/GlobalClassWar_FC_mockup_v2_1660754719_9e7e403d-c357-4a3a-8813-7b8772088967.jpg?v=1790988497"},{"product_id":"the-servant-economy","title":"The Servant Economy: Where America's Elite is Sending the Middle Class","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRenowned economist Jeff Faux explains why neither party's leaders have a plan to remedy America's unemployment, inequality, or long economic slide\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerica's political and economic elite spent so long making such terrible decisions that they caused the collapse of 2008. So how can they continue down the same road? The simple answer, that no in charge one wants to publicly acknowledge: because things are still pretty great for the people who run America. It was an accident of history, Jeff Faux explains, that after World War II the U.S. could afford a prosperous middle class, a dominant military, and a booming economic elite at the same time. For the past three decades, all three have been competing, with the middle class always losing. Soon the military will decline as well.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe most plausible projections Faux explores foresee a future economy nearly devoid of production and exports, with the most profitable industries existing to solely to serve the wealthiest 1%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe author's last book, \u003ci\u003eThe Global Class War\u003c\/i\u003e, sold over 20,000 copies by correctly predicting the permanent decline of our debt-burdened middle class at the hands of our off-shoring executives, out of control financiers, and their friends in Washington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSince his last book, Faux is repeatedly asked what either party will do to face these mounting crises.
