Senator Dorgan paints a matter-of-fact picture in this book about what we don't see in business, economics, and what's happening to America. This book is NOT for everyone, but if you've ever been fed up with companies like Wal-Mart, or with a phone call to a "help desk" that gets routed to Bombay, then you will enjoy this read.

This was one of those I just picked up on a whim while I was strolling through the library. It deals with our idiotic “trade policies” and how badly we’re being harmed by them. It’s definitely a relevant book and I can relate to it personally, having had my last job outsourced and seeing that my current one is ripe to be at any time. It’s a very informative but infuriating book; I got so mad sometimes it was hard to read. He’s a Democrat so he spent most of his time bashing Republicans, but he l

Awesome! This book described in detail the many economic and political issues of our nation and a formidable political solution to correct. Our economic status was created by legislative actions created by egregious corporate greed in our two leading parties during a period of increasing monopolization by large corporations. This unchecked monopolization must be legislated to provide more opportunities for the fast declining middle class. The middle class is the core of the greatest wealth of o

A very good, informative read on the damage that shipping American jobs overseas has done to the economy and the quality of goods that we are buying today. Dorgan puts a lot of good information into his book, and writes it in a way that is easy to understand (not going to lie, I tend to find books about economics boring). He also offers some practical solutions to solve the problem, but unfortunately that would require the US to have corporations willing to just be profitable (not obscenely prof

This book was terrific. Senator Dorgan goes into detail about specific corporations, businessmen, and politicians who are ruining our government and our economy by putting their personal wealth in front of ethics, human rights, labor standards, environmental standards, ideas of fair play, and people in general.
The soul and future of our country is at stake and I love Dorgan being up front and honest about what is wrong and how to fix it. That being said, I'm going to read a book pres More...

Excellent book, and a good juxtaposition to several better known books on globalization and free trade. Senator Dorgan (D-ND) makes a number of salient and well reasoned arguments. I read this bood with special interest and reccomend that it be read with other current popular economic books such as "The World is Flat".

This book provided another perspective of the longer term impacts of shipping jobs oversees to reduce cost short term. Wonderful strategic, thought-provoking book.

Very easy to understand. Senator Dorgan makes a persuasive argument and makes sense. It's scary how everything is happening now like he said it would.

A must read for a reality check. After you read this book, there is a much more of an awareness of what and where your everyday stuff comes from.

Currently reading this. I met Sen Dorgan in Jan 07, and got him to sign my book. He's on speed dial now
