Description

*Up to date edition with a new foreword at the Trump administration’s trade policy*

The vast benefits promised by the supporters of globalization, and by their own government, have never materialized for plenty of 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 within the current global marketplace. He tells the story of what went improper and the way to correct the course. Initially published at 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 a few of the most pressing issues facing the US. If the failure to adjust continues, Alden predicts, the political disruptions of the future shall be larger still.
