In this very readable book, Bouchard (President, Esmark, Inc.) and Koch (Economics, Old Dominion University) argue that the purchase by foreigners of critical and strategic U.S. assets is a danger to the nation's economic future. To make their case, the authors examine the events leading up to the 2008 sale of steel giant Esmark to a Russian firm--a sale that put more than half of U.S. steel production into foreign hands. The authors describe and analyze the actions of the main players before the sale, including those of Esmark's board of directors, officials of the United Steelworkers Union, and major public stockholders. The book offers legislative and policy prescriptions aimed at preventing similar sell-offs of important industrial assets in the future. Delivering an important message, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the global economics, the steel industry, or the decline of the U.S. industrial base.
