Last August, the NY Times reviewed Ms. Macy's book (notice the subtitle: How One Furniture Maker Battled Offshoring, Stayed Local — and Helped Save an American Town).
Globalization is one arm of a pair of pliers: vast reserves of cheap labor opened in China, other Asian countries, and eastern Europe. As for the other arm, why is the U.S. economy no longer able to develop new forefront industries, take up displaced workers, and maintain mass prosperity? That is a topic of my new book, The Hollow Colossus, http://www.hollowcolossus.com Of course, the NY Times will not review it, let alone give its point of view an opinion column.
