A former United States Trade Representative?one of the world's foremost experts on trade, economics, and agriculture?explains the global economy's biggest challenges, and how to solve them. As the Trump Administration's U.S. Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer took on globalists, nationalists, and big businesses from China, Canada, and Europe whose economic interests diverged from those of America. In The Worst Trade Ever, he shows how America's established approach to global trade has failed in its most basic priorities.Instead of securing good jobs, a solid standard of living, and a promising future for American workers, America's politicians have ceded American technological superiority, infrastructure, and economic stability to competitors like China and Mexico, trading American economic stability and jobs for cheaper consumer goods. We have given nations huge advantages over the U.S., and by enriching multinational corporations at the expense of the well-being of people who don't have college degrees, American trade policy has increased the division between economic classes.As U.S. Trade Representative, Lighthizer worked to undo many of these failed policies and bring balance to the global order. In this book, he explains the current issues involving trade, and what can be done to ensure America's trade policies serve America's interests.
