For thirty years, they told us globalization would lift all boats. It didn’t.From Canada’s vanishing middle class to Korea’s two-tier workforce, from Germany’s low-wage “export miracle” to France’s fiery resistance, one pattern repeats: wages suppressed, costs rising, futures stolen.The Wage Trap: The Real New World Order uncovers how Bush Sr.’s famous 1991 “New World Order” speech wasn’t just geopolitical theatre — it was the opening act of a global wage-suppression projec...

"For me, Paul has always been the most difficult and therefore also most delightful advocate and interpreter of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the human experience of God's transforming power through Christ.
