Book Review: End of the Line: The Rise and Coming Fall of the Global Corporation by Barry C Lynn

 The book is a bit old, published in 2006. It was referred to as a must-read for understanding globalization.

And it fits the bill. Considering current de-globalization or globalization without China and Russia, it is as relevant as ever.

Xi Jinping stated that we are in the period of change that only occurs every one hundred years. There is a main driver behind this seismic change: USA. The book illustrated how globalization came into being during Reagan era, it is US driving initiative to throw off Japan from dominating global manufacturing. And China became the winner in this US-driven initiative. 

Now US is trying to throw off China by de-globalization, will it succeed again?
