Pivotal decade : how the United States traded factories for finance in the seventies by Judith Stein
The decisions that hollowed out the American economy were, Stein suggests, largely made in the 1970s and 1980s, when Cold War alliance-building led American politicians to ignore violations of free trade rules by countries the US wanted on its side. Thus, Japan and France and several other nations could freely dump their goods in the US in support of developing their own national industries, and the US allowed it.
