a| "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." -- c| Back cover.
