*Updated edition with a new foreword on the Trump administration's
trade policy* The vast benefits promised by the supporters of
globalization, and by their own government, have never materialized
for many Americans. In Failure to Adjust Edward Alden provides a
compelling history of the last four decades of US economic and
trade policies that have left too many Americans unable to adapt to
or compete in the current global marketplace. He tells the story of
what went wrong and how to correct the course. Originally published
on the eve of the 2016 presidential election, Alden's book captured
the zeitgeist that would propel Donald J. Trump to the presidency.
In a new introduction to the paperback edition, Alden addresses the
economic challenges now facing the Trump administration, and warns
that economic disruption will continue to be among the most
pressing issues facing the United States. If the failure to adjust
continues, Alden predicts, the political disruptions of the future
will be larger still.
On September 10, 2001, the United States was the most open
country in the world. But in the aftermath of the worst terrorist
attacks on American soil, the U.S. government began to close its
borders in an effort to fight terrorism. The Bush administration's
goal was to build new lines of defense without stifling the flow of
people and ideas from abroad that has helped build the world's most
dynamic economy. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way.
Based on extensive interviews with the administration officials
who were charged with securing the border after 9/11, and with many
innocent people whose lives have been upended by the new security
regulations, "The Closing of the American Border" is a striking and
compelling assessment of the dangers faced by a nation that cuts
itself off from the rest of the world.

Americans know that something has gone wrong in this country's
effort to prosper in the face of growing global economic
competition. The vast benefits promised by the supporters of
globalization, and by their own government, have never materialized
for most Americans. This book is the story of what went wrong, and
how to correct the course. It is a compelling history of the last
four decades of US economic and trade policies that have left
Americans unable to adapt to or compete in the current global
marketplace. Failure to Adjust argues that, despite the deep
partisan divisions over how best to respond to America's
competitive challenges, there is achievable common ground on such
issues as fostering innovation, overhauling tax rules to encourage
investment in the United States, boosting graduation rates,
investing in infrastructure, and streamlining regulations. The
federal government needs to become more like U.S. state governments
in embracing economic competitiveness as a central function of
government. The book presents an especially timely analysis of the
trade policies of the Obama administration, and discusses how
America can reassert itself as the leader in setting rules for
international economic competition that would spread the benefits
of global trade and investment more broadly.
