In one of my economic classes at my university introduced me to the book Shafted: Free Trade & America's Working Poor. I think this qualifies as an advancement and one that is oft argued as a net good for global trade. The author contends that free trade has become a tool favoring corporate interests at the expense of workers’ dignity, community, and fair participation in economic decision-making. Beyond that, they illustrate that net economic gains _should_ be able to also lift those same workers, providing enough surplus for re-training, but it doesn't. The gains flow to the top and the workers left in a worse position. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/310362.Shafted https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/310362.Shafted
