具体描述
Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today’s trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past thirty years. Across the world, the rich have prospered while workers can no longer afford to buy what they produce, have lost their jobs, or have been forced into higher levels of debt. In this thought‑provoking challenge to mainstream views, the authors provide a cohesive narrative that shows how the class wars of rising inequality are a threat to the global economy and international peace—and what we can do about it.

##普选制的特点就是不管贫富悬殊是人都有一票，所以哪怕全球资本已经是让一批美国人先富起来了，还是要转过身哄好这批被时代抛弃的同胞，反正是那帮民主党人、邪恶帝国在搞火。美式愚民，哑然失笑。
##论述起来显得不太convincing，很容易被低估，但说出了很多ugly truth，有助于理解当下，实在比很多所谓“严肃的学术著作”强多了。读完想借用Michael Yates的书名叹一句，Can the Working Class（Still） Change the World？
##历史蛮详实的，国际贸易入门书

##"Despite these moves toward liberalization, the end of the war failed to restore trade to its pre-1929, much less pre-1913, importance. In fact, crossborder flows of goods and services relative to global output would not return to the zenith reached in the 1870s until the 1970s." Shocked me.
##20220527:中国过度储蓄（global saving glut）导致美国经常账户赤字增加的胡话出自伯南克。本想把这句话补加书评中，但显示书评中有被禁内容，无法更新。也不知是哪些词犯了禁，原书评是人工审核通过的，但编辑更新估计是系统自动审核，所以过不了。豆瓣审查功能就是这么差。
