After traveling from Ohio to Iowa, Richard Longworth has written a jeremiad and now dives in with an effort to globalize the Midwest. Reviewer Tim Collins argues that government needs to be part of this moving picture.

Richard Longworth’s Caught in the Middle delivers a tough love message to rural and urban Midwesterners: “Get moving. The world economy has globalized. You can’t keep doing things the same old way and survive.”
