Alan Tonelson, author of _The Race to the Bottom: Why a Worldwide Worker Surplus and Uncontrolled Free Trade are Sinking American Living Standards_, was on Radio Nation a while back with a fawning Marc Cooper. It's archived on the web (you can listen with Real Audio) at:

He echoes some local anti-Buchanan Reform party folks, who were lobbying some local Greens to join up with United We Stand. Tonelson, like them, is a tad heavy on the nativism. Cooper's response was interesting. "For those in the audience who profess a concern about globalization," prescribes Dr. Cooper, "this is the medicine, so you have to keep your mouth open and your ears open and take it." Tonelson talks up organized labor toward the end. Any thoughts?
