With Ben Wattenberg as devil’s advocate, Bowen presents economic arguments that counter the commonly held notion that American manufacturing has lost jobs to off-shore operations. Arguments include an increase in high-tech jobs due to computerization in many companies; the economic rebound of Chrysler, Motorola, Texas Instruments, and Intel; and the increase in corporations moving their manufacturing to the U.S. Bowen believes that outsourcing is a positive business strategy and calls for more creative use of the domestic workforce to reduce mass layoffs.
