The global auction : the broken promises of education, jobs and incomes

"The Global Auction forces us to reconsider how the global economy really works and how to thrive in it. The authors draw on cutting-edge research based on a major international study to show that the competition for good, middle-class jobs is now a worldwide competition--an auction for cut-priced brainpower--fueled by an explosion of higher education across the world. A challenge to the conventional wisdom that college diplomas give Americans and Europeans a competitive advantage in the global knowledge wars, The Global Auction urges a new conversation about the kind of society we want to live in and about the kind of global economy that can benefit workers--without condemning millions in emerging economies to a life of poverty. It offers a timely expose of the realities of the global struggle for middle class jobs, a competition that threatens the livelihoods of millions of American and European workers and their families." --
