Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

"How can our politicians call trade 'free' when year after year we sustain runaway trade deficits and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs?" Is that pro-worker, left-wing moviemaker Michael Moore speaking? Hardly. Try Lou Dobbs, host of the Lou Dobbs Tonight show on CNN and self-proclaimed "lifelong Republican" on the soapbox against the whole notion of free trade. The issue of American corporations moving overseas in pursuit of cheap labor has become a rallying cry for the otherwise conservative business journalist, and through his national TV show, he has become a lightning rod of controversy for speaking out against it, having been called everything from a protectionist to a communist. True, the book's publication coincides with a hot presidential race, yet Dobbs doesn't see either side as having the answer (Clinton, after all, signed NAFTA into law). Instead, after deftly laying out the problems, Dobbs thankfully offers sound ideas for reversing the course that he thinks will lead to losing another 14 million jobs to outsourcing. A tightly written account of an important economic issue. Mary Frances Wilkens

I used to have this on my computer, to search "Made in America" for almost everything I bought in my home remodeling, even banking, I closed an account because they outsourced jobs. I was telling my son, just last night, "if businesses hired enough people to answer the phone instead of the answering machines/robo calls we wouldn't have very much unemployment in this country." I will not stay on the phone when it's obviously a robo call. I'm mad enough to change insurance companies, homeowners and health, over answering/routing machines I repeatedly say "talk to a human being." The bank account I closed was over outsourcing, that the bank teller asked me what outsourcing is! I told her people don't even have to come to this country to get your job. No wonder we have security problems with account information.

"Mitigating the Deficit" less traumatically

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

It is easy to see why Lou Dobbs is disliked by 'the media' and 'Corporate America.' TRUTH is often either hard to take, or actually "dangerous" to those who stand to 'lose,' if it be known. When you see how 'Corporate America' has outsourced America out of millions of GOOD jobs (not just penny-eny jobs) and, worse, not paid taxes because they produce in another country, nor paid import taxes on those things shipped back to us, AND exponentially increased their profits by not having any environmental restrictions (polluting the other countries' air, land, and water bodies to DEATH), no safety standards for the workers (the Walmart fire was a drop in the ocean), slave labor wages, AND no quality control (hence the lousy quality of so much we buy), it makes you want to wish GREAT ILL upon the profiteers. Very informative, and the truth can be confirmed with just a little effort. Point being: if the government would levy the appropriate import taxes on our outsourcing corporations, ONLY give breaks to those corporations that contractually agree to expand business here, and not just a 'token' factory, in the U.S.--a reasonable agreed-upon amount, and end the practice of "accidentally" allowing countries to pretend to use America as a 'transfer station' during which the goods are destined for a different country, (meaning no import tax), when the goods are ACTUALLY delivered to OUR shelves, (but that way they get out of paying the import tax,) and so on, I think we could begin to chip away at the deficit WITHOUT oppressing the innocent--senior citizens, students, children, etc.

A Champion of the Middle Class!

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2004

Verified Purchase

Being an avid reader of business news, both domestic and foreign, I know that our blue and white-collar jobs have left and continue to leave this country at an alarming rate. When you combine this fact with our equally alarming trade deficit, it is hard to understand why our government and the multinational corporations engaging in these practices continue to preach that unfettered free trade is good for America.

Lou Dobbs, both on his show, and in this book, very convincingly (and accurately) points out the inevitable outcome of this free trade frenzy -- a radical decline in consumerism in America as a result of the death of the middle class. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in discovering what is REALLY going on in the world of multinational corporations, free trade, and globalization.

I think it is commendable that Mr. Dobbs, despite his own personal circumstances and beliefs, made the decision to objectively and courageously examine our current trade practices, and the relationship between corporate America and our government. The result of his research has done much to validate those who have been, or are in danger of, being displaced from their jobs by cheaper foreign labor. It has also placed him in the position of being sharply criticized by the business community (witness the sour review above from "The Economist"). Such criticism has not deterred him, and, in fact, he welcomes debate on his show with those who strongly oppose his views.

Lou Dobbs makes a very strong argument that it is time that our government worked for the people who are responsible for all those government jobs...the American public.

It's my opinion that it is time for our government to stop protecting and rewarding those corporations who are pushing our country toward the brink of economic annihilation.

It's funny, but those who scream the most loudly about the evils of protectionism appear to be engaging in this practice the most.

Fantastic Book. Right on the mark

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2004

Verified Purchase

Lou Dobbs seems to be the single remaining reporter, either on radio or television, who still cares about America. As Lou points out in the book, the politicians are so beholden to the big corporations for campaign funding, trade policies which benefit the corporations are almost guaranteed to pass through congress. The "experts" say that shipping jobs overseas will be good for the United States, and we (regular Americans) can retrain for something else. That something else is the jobs that are also leaving for distant shores. As Lou clearly points out, it's a losing game for this country. If you or someone you know has been effected by outsourcing, buy this book and pass it on. Great job, Lou!

空洞化の結末

Reviewed in Japan on July 26, 2005

Verified Purchase

産業空洞化は日本には起きないという経営学者もいる。しかし現実には海外への移転によって多くの産業で早期退職の名の下に失業が起き、中小企業は廃業し、地方都市は疲弊している。空洞化の先進国アメリカの実態をリアルに描いたのがこの著書である。著者Ｌｏｕ　Ｄｏｂｂｓはコラムニストとしてマスコミにしばしば登場しているが、本書はその集積であり、アメリカ政府や多国籍企業の海外生産移転、外国アウトソーシングの方針・戦略を失業増と税収減、人材育成機会の喪失、などの面から問題を指摘している。ＦＴＡ（自由貿易協定）はますます拡がり、此れまでは先進国に有利で途上国に不利と考えられていたのが、いまや途上国にとって先進国の仕事を取り込むよき機会となっている。そして製品やサービスを先進国に輸出することができる。ホワイトカラーの仕事もその例外ではない。ＩＴ情報産業や弁護士・法務・医療などの知的業種にまで空洞化が及ぼうとしている。本書は、国家と企業がこの環境にどう対処すべきかを真剣に考える必要性を示唆している。日本では空洞化は起こらないなどといっておれるのだろうか。
