Instead, globalization triggered a race to the bottom, forcing U.S. workers to compete with low-wage labor worldwide. The result: stagnant wages, shrinking opportunities, and a collapsing middle class-especially for workers without college degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also dismantles the myth of the \"post-industrial service economy.\" Cheap imports and service-sector jobs were supposed to deliver prosperity. They didn't. For most workers, lower prices and imports failed to offset rising living costs and flat pay, leaving economic insecurity in their wake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this is not just a diagnosis-it's a blueprint. As globalization fractures and global trade blocs re-emerge, \u003ci\u003eThe Globalization Trap\u003c\/i\u003e outlines a realistic path to renewed prosperity. The plan focuses on rebuilding U.S. manufacturing, reducing trade deficits, protecting critical technologies, and restoring wage growth through targeted tariffs, tax credits, quotas, and workforce training.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClear-eyed, practical, and timely, this book offers a roadmap for reclaiming economic stability and a stronger middle class.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 214\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 07, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49150850924796,"sku":"9781637429501","price":59.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/8344\/3259\/files\/JNLVztLTAb9781637429501.webp?v=1780332987","url":"https:\/\/howardimports.myshopify.com\/products\/the-globalization-trap-reclaiming-american-prosperity-paperback","provider":"Zyayre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
