Globalization: Attack on the American Dream
The American Dream is rooted in the process of economic democracy, which allows all Americans the opportunity to succeed and to share in the nation's prosperity. The author shows how globalization is opening the floodgates of economic and social upheaval in the United States, eroding our economic stability and our framework of democracy. The book also includes an argument for the development of a process of fair trade to protect ordinary American citizens from outsourcing and other potentially disastrous effects of free trade.Buy This Book

Reviews
"Brian Patrick Burke has taken a look at Globalization: Attack on the American Dream($18.95, Sterling House Books) and doesn't like what he sees. In a short, easy to read book, he explains what outsourcing, downsizing, rising debt, and the growing sense economic insecurity, spurred by the bursting of the housing bubble and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar, really means and why it is occurring. Meticulously he provides the statistics one needs to have in order to understand why the loss of America's manufacturing base and a largely "service" economy spells bad news ahead for our economy. You don't have to be an economist to grasp the message of this excellent book, but it will explain a lot about why increasingly the news about our economy is and will continue to be gloomy."
