520    "In 2018, the Republican-led State of Wisconsin signed a 
       economic-development deal with Foxconn, the China-based 
       electronics manufacturer, nominally securing 13,000 jobs. 
       Yet as journalist Lawrence Tabak powerfully shows, the 
       deal is a disaster in every dimension: economic, political,
       cultural, legal, and environmental. Disfranchising 
       American citizens of power, money, and land, the Foxconn 
       deal demonstrates all the ways that the pursuit of jobs 
       can ruin American communities nationwide. Tabak 
       demonstrates that such packages of incentives cannot make 
       economic sense on this scale. Subsequently, the proposed 
       size of the plant has shrunk and grown and shrunk again, 
       and its purported function has changed repeatedly. It's 
       possible most of Foxconn's plans will turn out to be 
       mirage. Yet the story of the dealmaking is complete, and 
       its impacts on Wisconsin and its people will be permanent"
