As the authors argue, the gradual opening of America's vast service sector to foreign competition is likely to cause economic upheaval on a scale not seen since the 1800s, when the development of the steamship and the telegraph made overseas trade in most goods possible. This new economic era will bring with it tremendous opportunity, but also considerable risk--including the real possibility of downward mobility for many in the middle class.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
