Globalization and the American worker is a path-breaking work on economic policy in a global age. It debunks the myths that clutter the political debate over globalization, focusing instead on the hard challenges America faces in building a stronger economic future. The book highlights the need to embrace the challenge of competing in the global economy, while making the investments in America's workers that they need to compete in world markets. It underscores the importance of adaptability in a time of accelerating economic change and explains how economic policy can encourage or hinder the ability of workers and firms to adjust to the changes that globalization has wrought. The book provides concrete recommendations for trade and tax policy, education, health care, labor, technology and range of other areas that would help build a new social contract between America and its greatest asset, its workers.
With the global economy slowing, global trade negotiations currently not making sufficient progress, and the emergence of a risk of increased protectionism, the need to demonstrate the importance of trade and the positive contribution it can make to positive economic growth and global welfare has never been more pressing. Given the fundamental changes under way in the global economy, however, progress on trade will require a strategy that looks beyond the Doha Round -- one that rethinks the ends and means of trade policy in a more globalized world economy. This conference had three main objectives: 1. assessing what changes in the structure of international trade and development mean for the conduct of trade policy in globally integrated markets 2.) exploring how trade policy and the trading system can best contribute to addressing the broader challenges the global community confronts, specifically to a reduction in global poverty and a response to global warming and 3.) determining the appropriate role for the WTO and the trade regime in the light of the growing debate over reforming the international economic architecture.
