The works deal\u00a0 with critical issues facing the United States and the world from a variety of dimensions. They include discussions of problems of both developed and developing countries. The editor recommends reading all\u00a0 of them.\u00a0 They will provide food for thought for people honestly interested in understanding the workings of national and global economic systems and how they might be improved to create a fair, equitable and cooperative order that improves the human condition in all regions and countries of the world. Development of some nations should not be at the expense of others. Some of these books document growing inequality, race-to-the-bottom trade, and the savage human toll of austerity economics which inflicts massive human suffering on millions of victims who see their jobs and livelihood destroyed in the name of fallacious economic doctrines that justify social darwinism.\u00a0 The editor recommends G\u00e9rard Dum\u00e9nil and Dominique L\u00e9vy\u2019s The Crisis of Neoliberalism, Richard Freeman\u2019s America works: the exceptional US labor market, Les Leopold\u2019s. The looting of America: how Wall Street\u2019s game of fantasy finance destroyed our jobs, pensions, and prosperity, and what we can do about it, and Barry C. Lynn\u2019s, . Cornered:\u00a0 the new monopoly capitalism and the economics of destruction \u2013 just for starters. For trade issues, I recommend the works by Sherrod Brown, Geoffrey Faux, and Ian Fletcher. On the incredible social damage caused by outsourcing of jobs in search of ever lower wages and salaries even for scientists and highly trained professionals read Byron Dorgan and Ron and Anil Hira\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>Select Bibliography: &#8230; (<a href=\"http:\/\/globalgeopolitics.net\/wordpress\/bibliography\/\">full text Bibliography<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>geopolitical and economic news and analysis &#8211; Linked on our blogs with INDIA: Engaging Africa With Software and Soft Power. &#8230; Alan Fogelquist\u00a0 is the editor of the Global Geopolitics Net and Global Geopolitics and Political Economy website.
