The Global Trump, 1st ed. 2019 Structural US Populism and Economic Conflicts with Europe and Asia

"This book is able to explain and analyze what has eluded both scholars and thought leaders in business and the media - how and why populism has grabbed center stage. Highly recommendable."
-David B. Audretsch, Indiana University Bloomington, USA

 "Welfens provides valuable insight into US politics and describes the strategic options for Europe going forward."
-Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley, USA

 "With great skill Welfens traces the implications of US populism for the global economic system."
- Jeffrey D. Sachs, Columbia University, USA

 "This critique of Trump?s fiscal and international trade policies and their weak intellectual basis deserves the attention of US and European readers alike"
-Richard H. Tilly, University of Münster, Germany
