The problem is not decentralization, but that all manufacturing is outside the US. The part of the process left here is the design. But what if the design is done by somebody else tomorrow? Then companies in this country will have no role to play.
- derobert 15y agoWhen you say "all manufacturing is outside the US", you have a very interesting definition of all. You may want to check UNIDO's industrial statistics, for then you'd find that the largest manufacturer country is not China, Japan, Taiwan, etc… it's the US.
- bzbarsky 15y agoThe US does different sorts of manufacturing from China/Japan/Taiwan. There is not that much electronics manufacturing in the US. But yes, by value of output, the US is a major manufacturer; we especially specialize in manufacturing large expensive stuff.
