Are Trade Wars Class Wars?
How trade, jobs, China and inequality will affect Election 2020

RSVP https://nationalpress.org/ <https://nationalpress.org/>upcoming/are-trade-wars-class-wars/  
 



Tuesday, Oct. 6, 11 a.m. Eastern

The future of globalization is on the ballot in November. But how is the U.S.-China trade war going for the American working class – the people most affected and least able to respond to changing supply chains, technology wars, tariffs and market upheavals?

This National Press Foundation briefing­­­­­ will explore global trade through the lens of class: Who is helped and who is hurt as trade opens and then closes based on the changing political leadership? Among our guests will be journalist Matthew C. Klein, co-author of “Trade Wars Are Class Wars: How Rising Inequality Distorts the Global Economy and Threatens International Peace.” The book shows how trade disputes are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices that serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees.

The program is part of a series of 10 online trainings for journalists on covering global trade issues in the era of coronavirus. Previous programs here <https://nationalpress.org/topics/trade/?st=14360>.

Q&A to follow.
