Made in the USA - by Vaclav Smil (Paperback)

Made in USA is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the importance of manufacturing in America's economy.

Vaclav Smil powerfully argues that no advanced economy can prosper without a strong, innovative manufacturing sector and the jobs it creates.

He explains how manufacturing became a fundamental force behind America's economic, strategic, and social dominance, and how its recent decline threatens our well-being.

Despite some economists' claims that shipping low-value jobs overseas matters little, Smil warns that we don't want a society consisting of a small population of workers doing high-value-added work and masses of unemployed.

He assesses various suggestions for solving America's manufacturing crisis, including lowering corporate tax rates, promoting research and development, and improving public education.

Will America act to preserve and reinvigorate its manufacturing? The odds are no better than even, but this book will give you the information you need to make an informed decision.

Don't miss out on this crucial read for anyone interested in America's future.
