New Book Answers The Painful Question: Can American Manufacturing Be Saved?

NEW YORK, July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Business Expert Press is proud to announce a forthcoming release of the highly anticipated book, Saving American Manufacturing: The Fight for Jobs, Opportunity, and National Security by William Killingsworth.  Although dozens have written about the decline of U.S. manufacturing and deleterious consequences it has had for our country, few of these accounts have explored the subject with as much depth and honesty as Killingsworth, and none has provided the kind of practical, effective solutions recognized by leaders around the world. 

"Dr. Killingsworth has presented a compelling set of facts on US manufacturing and our share of world trade as it relates to manufacturing," said Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret), President and CEO of the National Defense Industrial Association. "The data is sobering and lobbies overwhelmingly for action. Dr. Killingsworth kindly obliges this call by adding in his own prescriptions for a way forward.  Well worth a look."

From the Prologue: When I went to the office printer to retrieve a printed version of this preface, I had to load paper into the printer. On the wrapper of the ream of paper was a graphic of a kangaroo—looking more closely, I saw that the paper was made in Australia. Importing paper? From Australia? Really? Is it that bad? What can I say? As one of my friends commented: "We've been asleep at the wheel." We must wake up. And this book and Dr. Killingsworth (Ph.D. from MIT and Vice President of Manufacturing and Supply Chain Research at DESE Research, Inc.) put forth the solution to saving manufacturing.

This book has eight chapters that include historical and critical information on job losses, employment, plant closings, industrial production, output, a history of warnings, and, most important, corrective policy actions. Release date is September first, and the book is available for review, excerpt, and author interview.
