Publisher's Synopsis
It used to be, you could quit your job and find a new one the next day. Those days are long gone, thanks to "free-trade," which has forced Americans to compete for their jobs with low-paid workers in foreign countries. America's manufacturers are leaving the country in search of cheap labor, and we are now in an industrial depression that is dragging us all down: Our national debt is skyrocketing. Our roads and bridges are crumbling. Unemployment is endemic. And crime is out of control.
Fortunately, we recovered from a similar situation once before, thanks to founding father Alexander Hamilton.
If Alexander Hamilton were alive today, how would he recover our factories and jobs under our system of free trade? The answer to that question is the fascinating subject of this book.
