A CALL TO ARMS FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN AMERICA'S
FUTURE If you trust what you hear in the news,
America is in trouble. We've moved our manufacturing
overseas. We've lost our competitive edge to China, Germany,
Japan, and Brazil. We've entered our final days as an
econonic leader. Don't believe it! This provocative
book from a former deputy assistant secretary of commerce
will explode the myths you’ve been fed by the media and
reinforce your faith in American ingenuity. Author Ro Khanna
takes you inside Washington's economic think tanks and onto
the front lines of the most innovative companies in the
nation. You'll discover: - How small and large
businesses are spurring innovation and growth
- Why
the accepted wisdom about American manufacturing is wrong
- How America can stay ahead of lower-cost factories
in China and Brazil
- Why manufacturing is so
important to our national security and future
- How
to keep the best jobs, companies, and opportunities here in
America
Despite everything you've heard
about the economy, one fact remains: America continues to be
a world leader in manufacturing. Some of the world's best
products are still being made here. The world's greatest
innovations are still being developed by Apple, Google, and
countless others. This book will prove to you that
smart companies are staying ahead of the curve--and you can,
too. You'll learn how a fourth-generation business, the
Globe Manufacturing Company, customized its firefighting
suits to beat foreign competitors. You'll discover how
Vitamix worked with clients like Starbucks to produce a
superior coffee blender. And you'll hear behind-the-scenes
stories from the American steel industry, aerospace
companies, the defense technology sector, and other
worldclass leaders. You'll also learn why companies like
Solyndra fail--and what lessons we can take from them.
This is more than a book. It is a wake-up call that will
spark debate, shatter beliefs, and inspire action in every
American who wants to succeed in the future. This is
Entrepreneurial Nation.
