A provocative, far-reaching account of how the middle class got stuck with the bill for globalization, and how the blowback - from Brexit to Trump to populist Europe - will change the developed world. Former CIBC World Markets Chief Economist Jeff Rubin argues growing global inequality is a problem of our own making. And solving it won’t be easy if we draw on the same ideas about capital and labour, right and left, that led us to this cliff. This is an exhilaratingly fresh perspective that is at once humane and irascible, fearless and rigorous, and most importantly, timely.
