by Dick Morris
First published 2012
Dick Morris and Eileen McGann argue that America faces systematic economic exploitation by China, Russia, the European Union, and other foreign powers. The authors contend that domestic political and business leaders enable this plunder of American resources and jobs. Morris and McGann present evidence of what they call a global scandal that damages every American's economic prospects. They connect rising unemployment and economic decline to foreign manipulation of trade relationships. The book targets readers across political divides, from middle class employees and Tea Party members to union organizers and environmental activists who question globalization. Morris and McGann frame their analysis as urgent information for citizens watching their economic security erode. The authors promise to reveal specific mechanisms through which other countries drain wealth from America while domestic elites profit from these arrangements.
