"You will never think about 'free trade' the same way after reading
Jeff Faux's superb book. As Faux makes clear, the globalization
debate is really about whose interests are served by global elites,
and how we need to go about reclaiming a democracy that serves
ordinary people. This book should transform public discourse in
America."
--Robert Kuttner, founding coeditor of The American Prospect and
a contributing columnist to BusinessWeek
"Faux is clearly correct that the balance of power between labor
and capital has shifted dramatically. Today, investment capital
moves at blinding speed, while labor still must go by boat, train,
and plane--and that's if it's lucky."
--Michael Hirsh, The New York Times
"A persuasive and revealing framework for understanding
globalization in terms of class. It's a much-needed corrective to
the way in which most news about the changing world economy is
viewed, usually through a free market fundamentalist or, less
frequently, a nationalist lens."
--David Moberg, In These Times
"Globalization is a cover for American imperialism, but the
beneficiaries are not the American people at the expense of
foreigners but corporate executives at the expense of working class
and poor people wherever they may be. Jeff Faux offers a
comprehensive and devastating analysis."
--Chalmers Johnson, author of The Sorrows of Empire
"Incisive, rancorous . . . with a fluid grasp of both history
and economics, Faux, founder of the Economic Policy Institute,
critiques both Democrats and Republicans for protecting
transnational corporations 'while abandoning the rest of us to an
unregulated, and therefore brutal and merciless, global
market.'"
--Publishers Weekly
"Jeff Faux's astonishing story of how class works will
scandalize the best names in Wall Street and Washington--especially
the much admired Robert Rubin, who along with other elites,
colluded behind the backs of ordinary citizens in Mexico, Canada,
and the United States. The most cynical Americans will be shocked
by the sordid details. This really is an important book."
--William Greider, author of The Soul of Capitalism and Secrets of
the Temple
