Description
A provocative look at how today's trade conflicts are caused by governments promoting the interests of elites at the expense of workers.
Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show in this book, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees.
Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past 30 years. Across the world, the rich have prospered while workers can no longer afford to buy what they produce, have lost their jobs, or have been forced into higher levels of debt.
In this thought-provoking challenge to mainstream views, the authors provide a cohesive narrative that shows how the class wars of rising inequality are a threat to the global economy and international peace-and what we can do about it.

Narrator is robotic
I think I'll buy this book as a hardcopy and give it another shot but Siri reads text with more intonation and emphasis . Completely impossible to listen to, I don't think a human read this. Listened to another book narrated by Bob Souer and this 1000% was not read by him. Don't do this audible it's terrible.

Interesting prospective on global trade
Thought provoking book, with an excellent history of global trade imbalances and interesting speculation on their causes. Conclusions about how to correct current imbalances challenge every day solutions, and should promote some good policy discussions. Highly recommend reading this.

An excellent account of Trade and Economics
This is an excellent economics book that is clearly narrated and educates the reader on an astonishing array of factors in Finance, Economics, and Trade. Treats the subject like a science. From pure models like Ricardo to complex political economics of money-flow between nations.
The best - explaining how different economies managed development. Like the Early United States. Gives an excellent and intelligent explanation of the modern Japanese malaise. Even things like early 19th century banking and international finance.
Eurozone chapter, amazing. The explanation of tax haven mechanics, the best I have read, anywhere. Also, the chapter on trade and logistics optimization is great. I learned a great deal. This book is so good, It should cost 2 Credits.
When a book is this good, 5 stars is not enough.

Story of or current trade troubles and what to do
Although a bit robotic reading, this is a great story of how we evolved, our current, global trade, the problems with it, and potential solutions.
The basic problem is if a society is allowed to pay workers, such that they cannot afford the basic goods produced by that society, and that society is allowed to export their demand to other societies, a cascading sequence of disasters ensues.

well worth it but a difficult read
The topics in this book are very interesting and the author definitely goes into enough detail but this isn't the kind of book you can let your mind wander during.

This book should be required reading for every political representative in the world.
In a lengthy, well-researched, complicated 8 hours you will be educated beyond any political messaging, naive economics, and moralization of policy you may have been subjected to in your life. The authors explain in convincing fashion the root causes of the economic trends that are causing deepening class divides in the industrial world. Though I am far less optimistic than are the authors as to the global powers ability to overcome these challenges, I am better for knowing why we are where we are. Thank you so much.

It makes sense
After reading quite a lot on global trade and macro, this finally makes sense. Once you can move past the reader's robotic flow (I highly recommend the physical book), the case presented by the authors are difficult to fault. This is a must read to understand how the world really works. So, rather than blame other regions for local imbalances and deficits, look to the elites that suppress wage growth and financially repress savers to maintain their status.

Unlistenable
I’m really interested to read this book. The narration here is extremely fast and monotone, hard to listen to and impossible to keep your attention and follow. Will read it instead.

Insightful and Knowledgeable
If you want to understand more about the root behind the purpose of trade wars, them this book offers excellent insight. This book really helped open my eyes to many ideas and concepts that were foreign to me.
The only complaint I have is the narrator's breathing. In an earbud it can get annoying.

Worst narrator ever
The Narrator rushes through the book as in a hurry, frequently breathing in loudly, and does not read with an understanding of what he reads, just rushing through chains of words.
Horrible, I want my money back.
