The United States in the World Economy

Focusing on the effects of globalization, the book examines its influence on the US economy through international trade, finance, and immigration. It highlights the net benefits that the US has gained since World War II, while also addressing the significant costs faced by specific groups and communities. By evaluating income distribution impacts, it argues for increased government support for adversely affected workers and proposes essential reforms to ensure a fairer distribution of globalization's benefits.
