Globalization Has Undermined America's Working Class. A Debate
Description
In recent decades, globalization has ushered in an era of free trade, fluid borders, and unparalleled corporate profits. The reduction of barriers among states and their economies, advocates argue, has enriched nations and expanded opportunities for workers and consumers around the world. But in the United States, jobs are disappearing, opponents charge, and from construction zones to clerical offices to coal mines, the American working class is losing ground. Is globalization to blame? Did the push toward global integration leave this sizable group behind? Or is globalization simply a scapegoat for a wider range of failed public policies and unprecedented advances in technology? Has globalization undermined America's working class?
