Drawing on the latest research and data, Jeff Faux argues that the current global trading system is rigged against workers and the environment. He shows how free trade agreements have led to job losses, stagnant wages, and increased inequality. He also documents the environmental damage caused by the global trade in goods and services.

Faux concludes by calling for a new trade policy that puts people and the planet before profits. He argues that we need to rethink our trade agreements, invest in our own economies, and promote sustainable development. Free Trade Under Fire: The Costs of Globalization in the 21st Century is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the real costs of globalization.
