Imagine traveling across America and discovering a startling truth: while politicians and pundits lament the death of American manufacturing, innovative entrepreneurs are quietly thriving against all odds. This is precisely what Ro Khanna found as he toured the country's industrial heartland. Despite cheaper foreign labor, currency manipulation, and intellectual property theft, American manufacturers weren't just surviving - they were reinventing themselves. Until 2009, America remained the world's manufacturing leader, with labor productivity six times higher than China or India. The narrative that American manufacturing is doomed simply doesn't match reality. "When manufacturing moves overseas, design follows." This warning from Intel's legendary chairman Andy Grove captures a fundamental truth about innovation - it thrives on proximity. Harvard researchers observed this pattern when offshoring semiconductor manufacturing disadvantaged American companies in developing solar panels. Similarly, Dow Chemical builds research facilities near their factories because they "cannot afford to separate innovation from manufacturing." The numbers tell the story: manufacturing accounts for 70% of America's $250 billion annual business R&D spending and nearly 90% of U.S. patents. Manufacturing companies innovate at nearly three times the rate of service companies. This ecosystem - with its physical proximity and face-to-face collaboration - produces unparalleled technological breakthroughs. Manufacturing also creates pathways to the middle class, with weekly wages over 20% higher than service sector jobs. And while automation has changed the landscape, the idea that manufacturing no longer needs workers is a myth.
