Random House, Inc.

A blueprint for the Democratic party's future cautioning leaders to reevaluate the "New Democrat" position of deregulated global markets and conservative social values. Faux (president, Economic Policy Institute) roots his convincing argument by pointing out how Republicans are now suffering for their social Darwinism, and proposing that Democrats save their skins by focusing the party on the working family, updating this traditional center to fit today's global realities.

The Global Class War: How America's Bipartisan Elite Lost Our Future - and What It Will Take to Win It Back

Acclaim for The Global Class War ""You will never think about 'free trade' the same way after reading Jeff Faux's superb book. As Faux makes clear, the globalization debate is really about whose interests are served by global elites, and how we need to go about reclaiming a democracy that serves ordinary people. This book should transform public discourse in America."" -Robert Kuttner, founding coeditor of the American Prospect and a contributing columnist to BusinessWeek ""Jeff Faux's astonishing story of how class works will scandalize the best names in Wall Street and Washington-especially the much admired Robert Rubin, who along with other elites colluded behind the backs of ordinary citizens in Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The most cynical Americans will be shocked by the sordid details. This really is an important book."" -William Greider, author of The Soul of Capitalism and Secrets of the Temple ""Globalization is a cover for American imperialism, but the beneficiaries are not the American people at the expense of foreigners but corporate executives at the expense of working-class and poor people wherever they may be. Jeff Faux offers a comprehensive and devastating analysis."" -Chalmers Johnson, author of The Sorrows of Empire

The Servant Economy: Where America's Elite is Sending the Middle Class

Renowned economist Jeff Faux explains why neither party's leaders have a plan to remedy America's unemployment, inequality, or long economic slideAmerica's political and economic elite spent so long making such terrible decisions that they caused the collapse of 2008. So how can they continue down the same road? The simple answer, that no in charge one wants to publicly acknowledge: because things are still pretty great for the people who run America. It was an accident of history, Jeff Faux explains, that after World War II the U.S. could afford a prosperous middle class, a dominant military, and a booming economic elite at the same time. For the past three decades, all three have been competing, with the middle class always losing. Soon the military will decline as well. 
<ul>
<li>The most plausible projections Faux explores foresee a future economy nearly devoid of production and exports, with the most profitable industries existing to solely to serve the wealthiest 1%</li>
<li>The author's last book, The Global Class War, sold over 20,000 copies by correctly predicting the permanent decline of our debt-burdened middle class at the hands of our off-shoring executives, out of control financiers, and their friends in Washington</li>
<li>Since his last book, Faux is repeatedly asked what either party will do to face these mounting crises. After looking over actual policies, proposed plans, non-partisan reports, and think tank papers, his astonishing conclusion: more of the same.</li>
