In order to have career stability, he took his last professorship at the University of California, Irvine in 1989. He was also a professor of economics and public policy. He worked at the University of California at Irvine for over twenty years and retired as a professor emeritus. In recognition of the many MBA courses he taught at the time as a lecturer, he received numerous awards.

He had no publications

As a seasoned professor and lecturer, Peter Navarro’s work was expected to flood many economic journals both locally and internationally. Unfortunately, he did not post anything.

This is regardless of the fact that he is a prolific writer who has written a lot of books, but he didn’t seem to have any of his works published in a top academic journal. Well, it’s been said that his research interests go beyond those of the average economist. He looks at economics from a broader and rather unconventional perspective.

His books are mostly attacks on global economies

Peter Navarro has written a total of seven books. Two of his most important books were affronts to the Chinese economy.

In 2006 he published China’s Next Wars: Where They Will Be Wage, How They Can Be Won. In the book, he tried to shed light on the struggle to become a world power and exert influence in the world market. He pointed out how China spearheads global conflicts over energy, natural resources, environment, intellectual property and a variety of other global issues. Publishers Weekly rated the book as contemporary and comprehensive.

Peter Navarro’s second most important book, Death by China: Confronting the Dragon – A Global Call to Action, was published in 2011. He co-authored the book with Greg Autry. In this book, he builds on his earlier accusations against China. He accused them of devaluing their currency as a ploy to force US companies to give up intellectual property in order to gain access to their market. He says China’s currency manipulations have unfairly prevented US companies from competing favorably. In 2012, the book became a film project which he directed.
