Re-Made in the USA: How We Can Restore Jobs, Retool Manufacturing, and Compete With the World

by Todd Lipscomb

Overview

A business-based rallying cry to reclaim the US economy

There is a nagging feeling that the U.S. is slipping as a nation and our people are powerless to do anything to fix it. Issues such as jobs, product quality and safety, wages, the economy, and our status as the world's leading superpower are all tied together with our massive trade deficit.

Re-Made in the USA addresses these issues using the author's firsthand observations and analysis, and offers a practical plan for how we can get our economy and global status back.

• A practical action plan to get the nation back on track
• If you're worried about America when you start reading this book, you'll finish feeling empowered
• Todd Lipscomb has a distinguished record in international business

America's future does not have to be on the decline. In inspiring terms, Re-Made in the USA lays out the choice Americans have between doing nothing, and doing what we do best-rolling up our sleeves and working hard to fix the problem.
