Title
In Praise of Hard Industries: Why Manufacturing, Not the Information Economy, Is the Key to Future Prosperity,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Challenging conventional wisdom, Eamonn Fingleton argues that manufacturing expertise not the new information economy is crucial to jobs, exports, and growth. It is universally accepted that the future of the U.S. economy depends on its successful adaptation to a postindustrial, informationbased global economy. The same conventional wisdom says that advanced economies should abandon manufacturing in favor of informationdriven services such as finance, entertainment, and software. In this surprising and provocative book, the acclaimed financial journalist Eamonn Fingleton demonstrates that by every measure, including highwage job creation, contribution to national income, and balance of trade, the manufacturing sector outperforms the 'new economy.' In Praise of Hard Industries argues with compelling logic that America's longterm economic success depends on its strategic advantage as a manufacturer of sophisticated equipment and producer goods.
