"Why Globalization Works for America is a welcome addition to a debate that has been hijacked by partisan and populist interests, to the detriment of what the author rightly calls America’s globalized DNA."—Daniel Griswold, National Review
"In this economics book, Goldberg, an adjunct professor at New York University and the author of The Joint Ventured Nation (2016), provides a concise overview of how economic and political globalization have worked throughout history, and how ideologically driven propaganda and the unequal distribution of benefits have shaped the perception of globalization in today’s United States. . . . Consistently informative and highly readable."—Kirkus Reviews
“A richly detailed, clear-eyed examination of how America arrived at this odd moment in history and what truly makes the U.S. economy great. Goldberg’s chapter on the disastrous history of trade tariffs should be required reading for everyone working on trade policy in DC. An approachable, sophisticated examination of the problems ailing America and the political myopia that led to them.”—Heather Timmons, economics editor for Reuters
“This book offers an outstanding overview of a complex subject by placing a pro-globalization thesis within a broader historical framework. . . . This work should have cross-party and cross-disciplinary appeal”—Irene E. Finel-Honigman, coauthor of International Banking for a New Century
“A powerful defense of economic globalization and an indictment of the American political system’s failure to adapt to its accelerating and inexorable advance—a failure that has sparked a populist revolt by those left behind, threatening America’s global leadership and even our democracy.”—William M. LeoGrande, professor of government at American University
