American manufacturing was shipped overseas because, i.e. after, American labor was unable to compete. I'm not sure what "corporate trade agreements" means either; corporations don't make "trade agreements".
I'm also not sure why everyone takes for granted that America not having as many manufacturing jobs is a bad thing...
- danielheath 6y agoYou mean paid labor couldn’t compete on price with slaves? Color me shocked.
- Godel_unicode 6y agoYes, but also the standard of living in the US that American labor can't really compete on price with anyone.
- water8 6y agoManufacturing is like a ladder. When you outsource the bottom, it’s no different than cutting the rungs of a ladder beneath you. Manufacturing is essential to the wealth and prosperity of any nation.

- water8 6y agoThe Source is WW1 and WW2. Germany was the world powerhouse in production not population. Their ability to out manufacture their neighboring countries lead to some pretty horrible things.
