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 project. Through trade deals, IMF reforms, and corporate capture, elites built a system where productivity soared while ordinary paychecks flatlined.

This book names the blueprint, exposes the faces enforcing it — Trudeau, Freeland, Carney — and calls citizens worldwide to stop voting for managers of decline and start running as candidates themselves.

Run, don't vote. Break the trap. Build the commons.
