Book description
In his new book, Bill Killingsworth documents the decline of economic
and intellectual wealth caused by the loss of U.S. Manufacturing.
His thought provoking analysis of this empirical data
leads us back to the answers to save ourselves and generations
to come. —Rick Jarman, President and Chief Executive
Officer, National Center for Manufacturing Sciences
Exceptional book—timely and insightful. His analysis is spot on,
examples persuasive, and recommendations worth consideration
at the highest level. A call to action we cannot ignore. —James
Rogers, Major General (Retired), U.S. Army
Drawing on his extensive experience, thorough research and obvious
sense of responsibility, Dr. Killingsworth provides a comprehensive
and provocative case for the importance of American
manufacturing. This timely work should be required reading
for anyone engaged with forming or leading economic policy.
—Ralph L. Resnick, President and Executive Director,
NCDMM, Founding Director, America Makes
Dr. Killingsworth presents clear arguments as to why manufacturing
is essential to the United States, and how our nation can
capture, benefit, and drive the future of the world economy via
embracing global concepts of manufacturing and taking the lead
on innovating its future. —Thomas R. Kurfess, PhD, PE, Professor
and HUSCO/Ramirez Distinguished Chair in Fluid
Power and Motion Control, George W. Woodruff School of
Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology
Dr. Killingsworth paints one of the most definitive pictures of what
has been happening over the last several years in the U.S. manufacturing
sector. His statistical analysis and compelling anecdotal
evidence contribute invaluable insights for scholars and policymakers
alike. This is a must-read in Washington and around the
country. —Neal Orringer, Vice President, Alliances and Partnerships,
