Requests:  0 Summary:  "In 2018, the Republican-led State of Wisconsin signed an economic-development deal with Foxconn, the China-based electronics manufacturer, nominally securing 13,000 jobs. Yet as journalist Lawrence Tabak powerfully shows, the deal is a disaster in every dimension: economic, political, cultural, legal, and environmental. Disfranchising American citizens of power, money, and land, the Foxconn deal demonstrates all the ways that the pursuit of jobs can ruin American communities nationwide. Tabak demonstrates that such packages of incentives cannot make economic sense on this scale. Subsequently, the proposed size of the plant has shrunk and grown and shrunk again, and its purported function has changed repeatedly. It's possible most of Foxconn's plans will turn out to be mirage. Yet the story of the dealmaking is complete, and its impacts on Wisconsin and its people will be permanent"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 338.76213 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.76213 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.76213 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.76213 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.76213 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList
