The book offers an insider's critical look at the impact of globalization on the American furniture business, an industry that went from making 'world class' products to shutting down plants in 5 years. With tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars at stake, the industry was taught a painful lesson. The failure to learn from the experience will result in more losses for the furniture business and other industries as well, making this book particularly relevant to our times.
