“Rubin . . . leverages his firm grasp of geopolitics and economics
to offer not only a primer on macroeconomics, but also on how
globalization—that is, the process of opening up international
markets—has routed the middle class and propped up the elite.”

“The latest from the author of Why Your World Is About to Get a
Whole Lot Smaller continues his disruptive ways in this analysis of
how the collapse of union membership and the near obsolescence of
full-time employment is squeezing out the middle class. . . .
[Rubin] is a fiercely independent thinker.” —NOW
