SCREWED! How Foreign Countries Are Ripping America Off and Plundering Our Economy—and How Our Leaders Help Them Do It

This husband-and-wife team of political reporters believes that when it comes to international trade relations, the United States is being sold out by moneyed interests and compliant politicians. They cite the influence of foreign and domestic lobbyists and bemoan the loss of American jobs at the altar of global trade. Narrator Pete Larkin has exactly the kind of voice that can deliver the authors’ message to maximum effect. His tone lends a sarcastic air to the book, and he knows just where to add emphasis, pause, and pitch variation to highlight their salient points. He reads with the authority of a newscaster, and his deep voice lends credibility to the discussion. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2012]
