The American Dream is rooted in the process of economic democracy, which allows all Americans the opportunity to succeed and to share in the nation’s prosperity. The author shows how globalization is opening the floodgates of economic and social upheaval in the United States, eroding our economic stability
and our framework of democracy. The book also includes an argument for the development of a process of fair trade to protect ordinary American citizens from outsourcing and other potentially disastrous effects of free trade.
