520 1  "For decades, the idea that more education will lead to 
       greater individual and national prosperity has been a 
       cornerstone of developed economies. Indeed. it is almost 
       universally believed that college diplomas give Americans 
       and Europeans a competitive advantage in the global 
       knowledge wars." "Challenging this conventional wisdom. 
       The Global Auction forces us to reconsider our deeply held
       and mistaken views about how the global economy really 
       works and how to thrive in it. Drawing on cutting-edge 
       research based on a major international study. the authors
       show that the competition for good. middle-class jobs in 
       now a worldwide competition---an auction for cut-priced 
       brainpower---fueled by an explosion of higher education 
       across the world. They highlight a fundamental power shift
       in favor of corporate bosses and emerging economies such 
       as China and India. a change that is driving the new 
       global high-skill. low-wage workforce. Fighting for a 
       dwindling supply of good jobs will compel the middle 
       classes to devote more time. money, and effort to set 
       themselves apart in a bare-knuckle competition that will 
       leave many disappointed. The authors urge a new 
       conversation about the kind of society we want to live in 
       and about the kind of global economy that can benefit 
       workers, but without condemning millions in emerging 
       economies to a life of poverty." "The Global Auction is a 
       radical rethinking of the ideas that stand at the heart of
       the American Dream. 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."--BOOK 
       JACKET.
