Episode notes
Globalization's Foundational Miscalculation
- Globalization was built on the assumption that trade and market integration would spread democracy and shared prosperity.
- David J. Lynch shows that assumption failed because distributional harms were underestimated and protections for losers were never delivered.
Told Through Ordinary Americans
- Lynch frames the story through half a dozen Americans: a worker, a venture capitalist, and presidents, to humanize policy outcomes.
- He uses narrative history to show how big decisions translated into real community outcomes over 30 years.
Winners' Gains Didn’t Rescue Losers
- Policymakers believed winners' gains would compensate losers through retraining and relocation, but that redistribution rarely materialized.
- Lynch documents that China’s rapid import growth and capital flows concentrated costs on low-skilled U.S. manufacturing workers producing persistent local decline.
