Does America Need Manufacturing?

Can the United States
prosper and participate successfully in international trade with an economy
based mainly on services and without manufacturing?

Ralph Gomory, one of
America’s leading economic thinkers,
challenges the conventional wisdom about the post-industrial economy. Boldly
clarifying classic economic analysis, Gomory explains why manufacturing
continues to be essential to our prosperity.

Please join us for a
provocative discussion on the future of the American economy.
