World renowned business journalist and anchor of CNN's popular
Lou Dobbs Tonight, Lou Dobbs weighs in on the most explosive economic issue of our time.
The shipment of American jobs to cheap foreign labor markets threatens not only millions of workers and their families, but also the American way of life. With the pay of corporate CEOs at historical highs and job creation at the lowest level since the Depression, corporate raiders are breaking down our borders in search of the lowest-price labor available anywhere in the world. For the first time in history, corporations are laying off Americans from well-paying jobs and replacing them with low-paid foreign workers. A recent study revealed that 14 million American jobs are now at risk of being outsourced overseas.
Make no mistake, Corporate America isn't doing all this alone: Big business and Washington are in cahoots, trading our nation's livelihood for short-term gain, and Lou Dobbs's bold new book takes dead aim. A stirring call to arms and an invaluable prescriptive guide to dealing with the issue, Exporting America tells readers what they can do to save not only their own jobs, but the American dream.
Review
"Exporting America is an enlightening treatment of a huge new American problem by a brilliant, highly informed, market-loving Republican, addicted to economic truth. He has produced both a powerful denunciation of a profligate outsourcing of jobs together with a number of intelligent, achievable reforms that will mitigate the problem without counter-productive protectionism." Mario Cuomo, Governor
Review
"This is not a book just designed to get you angry but you will be when you read how often, for the sake of greed, the 'People' (that's you and me, folks!) have been compromised. Understand, Mr. Dobbs does not pretend to have all the answers but his book guides readers to ask the right questions. And he does provide some sound beginning and interim solutions. Problem is, he can't do it alone. Where do you stand?" www.suite101.com
