520 1 $a"The commercial airwaves are rife with well-groomed talking heads who claim to be the bearers of good news: offshoring will save America. They claim that it will cure the coming labor shortage and allow American workers to find better jobs. They offer comments about the industrial evolution and wax poetic about free trade. Offshoring is part of a natural progression, they say, and to stand in its way is to oppose the imperatives of the emerging global economy." "The reality however, is that they're not telling you the whole truth. It's not your imagination - we are being sold out. What's going on is nothing short of class warfare, a battle being waged largely behind our backs and under the cover of the nightly news. The middle class in the United States is being sabotaged by a group of corporate aristocrats who would literally gut our country and destroy our way of life if they could makes a buck off of it." "This book is a carefully referenced antidote to the half-truths spread by industry funded think tanks boardroom-inspired marketing consultants, and a myriad of PR spin doctors. The pages herein gradually peel back the candy coating of the offshoring doctrine to expose the corrupted inner core of Corporate America."--Jacket.
