Unsustainable.org is a non-partisan forum for discussing America's trade
problems. It focuses particularly on the effects of misguided trade policies
in undermining not only America's industrial and employment base but its sovereignty and its freedom of action on the world stage.
The site makes
common cause with allies across the political spectrum -- from labor unions and environmental groups to industry associations and organizations
concerned with America's national security.
Unsustainable.org invites the participation of all who are interested in an
honest discussion of globalization's effects on American jobs, business interests, technological preeminence, defense capabilities, and world
leadership.
The forum was founded by Eamonn Fingleton, a financial journalist and author
who, after fifteen years of watching the American trade debate from a vantage point in Tokyo, is convinced that the American public is
being massively -- and disastrously -- misled about the realities of globalization.
The site is funded by a Midwest-based benefactor and draws
on services provided by the Washington-based United States Business and
Industry Council Educational Foundation.
Unsustainable.org hails the courage, persistence, and intellectual leadership USBICEF has displayed in
fighting America's misguided trade policies and is honored to feature trade
commentaries by USBICEF's policy analysts at this site. It does not, however, necessarily endorse other aspects of USBICEF's policy program.
In his youth, the site's benefactor fought in the Pacific theater in World
War II and later served in the U.S. military in Occupation-era Japan.
In his
subsequent business career, he came to know some of Japan's most famous business leaders.
Why the name Unsustainable.org? The name comes from the headline over Eamonn
Fingleton's cover story on trade in the August 14, 2000, issue of The American
Prospect. That headline in turn echoed Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan
Greenspan's famous comment on America's mounting trade deficits.
