Trump, Trade, and the End of Globalization
(Praeger 2018)
by David S. Jacoby
Global trade is heading toward chaos. Globalization has in part been a zero-sum game over the last 20 years, as China’s middle and upper classes have grown sharply while Western economies have stagnated. Wealthy countries, most notably the United States and the United Kingdom, are now on the brink of abandoning free trade. Prevailing protectionist attitudes and policies are based on short-term thinking and will disappoint future generations.
According to author David S. Jacoby, a “new multilateralism” can provide a way out of this impending disaster by preserving innovation and growth while also curbing the impact of countries that manipulate currency, disparage the environment, and violate human rights.
David S. Jacoby, president of Boston Strategies International, is an economist, consultant, and trade policy adviser. He wrote The Economist Guide to Supply Chain Management and taught operations management at Boston University’s Graduate School of Business. He holds an MBA from The Wharton School, a master’s in international business from The Lauder Institute, and a bachelor of science in finance and economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

The Financial Rules for New College Graduates
Invest before Paying Off Debt—and Other Tips Your Professors Didn’t Teach You
(Praeger 2018)
by Michael C. Taylor
From financial expert Michael C. Taylor comes a proposed means by which to not only pull oneself out of debt but to start building wealth from the first day on the job: adoption of modesty, skepticism, and optimism. The Financial Rules for New College Graduates explains that by embodying modesty, the opposite of status-seeking ostentation; skepticism, the ability to recognize scams, false promises, and the hyperbole and short-sightedness of financial media; and optimism, the belief that financial security can be yours with little to no risk, anyone can attain financial security.
Michael C. Taylor sold bonds on Wall Street, founded and closed a private investment business, and dedicates himself to the mission of teaching, consulting, and writing about finance. He writes a weekly column for the San Antonio Express News and the Houston Chronicle and founded the finance blog http://www.bankers-anonymous.com.
