Summary: simply great!
Comment: Dam's book is one of the best examinations
of U.S. trade policy that I 've ever read.
The book is extremely clear and well written
and covers in short chapters most of the relevant
globalization issues facing the U.S.
The book covers internatonal trade in goods
and services; the effects of interest groups
on trade policy, including a detailed description
on how interest group politics actually works
in washington; fairness in trade; international
movements of capital and even cross-border movement of people.
It's pragmatic, intuitive, clear and full of evidence.
simply great!

Summary: Informative and surprisingly pleasurable read
Comment: "The Rules of the Global Game" was one of the more informative books I have read in the recent past. Surprisingly, it was also a pleasure to read. I had expected a very dry tome, given the subject of international economic policy. The author, who is now the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, explains the interest groups involved, the international structures, and the recent history of US international policymaking, covering trade, monetary and fiscal policy, as well as economic aspects of such disparate subjects as intellectual property, labor, and environmental issues. Informed voters should know about these things, especially given how various groups victimize consumers for their private advantage, all the while claiming that they are working for the environment, fairness, downtrodden foreigners, etc. My only criticism is that not everything was explained in as much depth as I would have preferred. But as an intoduction to the subject the book works very well.
