The Race to the Bottom

Why a Worldwide Worker Surplus and Uncontrolled Free Trade are Sinking American Living Standards

by

"In The Race to the Bottom, Alan Tonelson explains how a competition has emerged in which countries with the weakest workplace safety laws, the lowest taxes, and the toughest unionization laws win investment from American and European countries.

Tonelson argues that this "race to the bottom" in labor standards has been the driving force behind the decline of American living standards for the past quarter century and, as we have already begun to see, will cause even bigger problems for the worldwide economy as it continues."--BOOK JACKET.
