The Limits of Globalization: Understanding the Rise of Donald Trump
(2016-06) Auerback, Marshall
The rise of Donald Trump to the top of the United States Republican Party is not as incredible as establishment pundits profess. In fact, he is the voice for an increasing number of Americans, who count themselves amongst the biggest losers of globalizaiton and free trade. Each election, the gap widens between the winners and losers of globalizaiton and free trade. And each election year, U.S. politicians express concern about their issues, then conveniently ignore them when they reach power and implement policies from the same Washington Consensus that has dominated the past 40 years. In Trump, the electorate has somebody playing a very different game, even if his policies lack the coherence and elegance so beloved in the world of economic policy seminars and think tanks.
