Globalization: Attack on the American Dream

If your job has been outsourced to India or Europe…if your company has decided to downsize its operations and move overseas…or if you're searching in vain for anything made in America, then welcome to the modern world of globalization. For millions of Americans, it poses a growing threat to economic independence. While free trade might sound like a good idea in the abstract, Brian Patrick Burke presents a well-reasoned, well-researched and frankly frightening argument against it. According to the author, globalization is opening the floodgates of economic and social upheaval in the United States, eroding our economic stability and threatening the American Dream of democracy for all. Filled with anecdotes and examples, Globalization is a lively, thought-provoking and intriguing look at a topic that has far-reaching social implications for all Americans.
