title: The Global Class War: How America's Bipartisan Elite Lost Our Future - and What It Will Take to Win It Back
author: Jeff Faux
description: Conventional wisdom portrays globalization as competition among countries-- America versus Mexico or China or Europe. But today the rich and powerful of every nation have more in common with each other than they do with their fellow citizens who must work for a living. What's good for General Motors-- or Microsoft, Exxon, or Wal-Mart-- is no longer good for America.
