Window On: American Manufacturing

The rapid rise of China as the "manufacturing center of the world" has sometimes been portrayed as the last nail in the coffin of US industry. However, several trends are reshaping the American manufacturing sector in ways that haven’t been anticipated or fully understood. In particular, several new, cost-effective technologies have been developed that make better use of a higher-skilled workforce. Simultaneously, swift changes in the global economy raise questions about how the comeback of US manufacturing can be sustained.

In this webcast, we'll examine:

  • Is American manufacturing making a comeback?
  • Which factors have been driving US manufacturing growth?
  • How can American manufacturing continue to recover and expand?

Who Should Attend: Those with an interest in the economic, business, and policy direction of the US and global economy
