The Fall of an American Rome
Description
The author considers US industrial policies that have shaped todays economic landscape and finds that, however well-intended, our polices have been misguided. Free trade was to promote world peace and democracy. No one foresaw the ancillary effects of the 1970s on the United States. Yet this approach has brought destruction upon our cities, workers, managers, and country.
Dr. Skrabec writes - not to condemn or demonize any party to this debacle - but out of a love for American manufacturing and those once-robust cities such as Detroit, Toledo, Pittsburgh, Akron, and so many others, that drove the American economy to the top.
