Includes bibliographical references and index. Myths of manufacturing -- The economy as an ecosystem -- How to create sustainable growth -- The rise and decline of great powers -- The rise of the United States -- The decline of the United States -- Driving civilization off a cliff -- Making transportation sustainable -- Making energy sustainable -- Rebuilding urban space -- The government is here to help. This book connects two critical issues: the importance of manufacturing to the growth and fair distribution of national wealth and the need to create an environmentally sustainable society. It offers groundbreaking arguments demonstrating the centrality of manufacturing and shows ways in which creating a green economy will rebuild U.S. manufacturing and expand the middle class.--[book jacket] |
