The Most Insightful Book Ever Written on InternationalTrade
Written from first hand experience from a man on the inside of the Reagan Administation. The events of 1980's unfold as whole US Indusrties are wiped from existence by Japan from consumer products, memory chips,etc. Not only is Clyde a brilliant Economist he is an expert on Japan and expains the misunderstanding that occur between the US and Japan. More important he points out how many of those industries could have been saved for example Harley Davidson would not be around today if not for Paul who lobbied for tariffs on Japanese Motorcycles. This Book made me want to become an Economist, which I am at UC Berkeley.
