Restoring America's Greatness

By Kristopher Munroe

Overview

In the current state of America, a lot of people still believe that free trade is the best solution for America, but protectionism, not only with trade but also with technology, is what is needed. Commercial drivers are facing a world where self-driving cars are slowly taking over their jobs and AI is beginning to replace many parts of the laboring workforce. Action is needed to bring back production to the economy because a country that makes its own goods has real power in the world market. In "Restoring America's Greatness," it will become clear what is stopping America from becoming a dominate force in the manufacturing business again by analyzing policies, agreements, and outside influences.

Description

Can America be a rich nation if we don't create our own goods and services? The short answer is no; we may be a wealthy country now, but that won't last long if manufacturing continues to decline. In this book, it will be no secret that reshoring has its problems and is preventing companies from making the switch to manufacturing in America. In "Restoring America's Greatness," you will learn the damaging effects politics has had on American manufacturing and how policies such as the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) were an unfair deal for the American people. You will also discover how environmental policies are a hinderance to our success since they only give the upper hand to the competition. Additionally, the author will also argue the need for major protectionism and how corporations are taking advantage of the American people by offshoring their manufacturing and services. Many believe that the need for free trade outweighs the impact on businesses, which would be hurt by foreign companies importing cheaper goods. But, too many Americans are getting the short end of the stick in the globalized economy. Manufacturing is potentially the most important industry in the United States economy, and it needs to be protected.

About The Author

Kristopher Munroe is from a small town of Dighton, Massachusetts. He lived there all his life until recently, when he moved to Swansea, Massachusetts. Throughout his life, he had a vision of American exceptionalism and was often very proud of his heritage. He loves how his town was honest and hard-working, as it shaped his perception of what America stands for. Growing up, his parents always had his back and taught him the value of hard work, which is why Kristopher strongly admires laborers and feels they are just one of the many reasons America is so great. Currently, Kristopher is working on a 60-credit MBA program at Northeastern University, where he has learned all about logistics and international business. He has worked with many fellow students in learning the complexity of the supply chains and has reviewed many case studies on manufacturing companies' problems with their manufacturing. During his undergraduate program at Johnson & Wales University, he frequently took classes on global and political science to better understand the global market and American interest in the world. Part of his career has been focused on supply chains, particularly clinical supply. In the future, he hopes to help American companies manufacture in the United States and help train a skilled workforce that will make America the dominant country in manufacturing again.
