Calling Goldman Sachs a murderous, blood sucking cancerous leech etc, isn't perfect either, but it's going to have to do.

We have neglected the manufacturing base of our economy in much the same way we have neglected financial regulation. There simply is no manufacturing policy in the United States.

For decades the real economy has been "financialized" by the Wall Street types -- sold off piece by piece, providing short term profits for a very few.

In a windowless factory in this African village, Tiffany is teaching more than 80 workers to transform raw diamonds into gems for Tiffany engagement r...

Some of us warned this day would come. We knew an economic strategy predicated on replacing wage growth with debt and credit to maintain a certain standard of living was doomed to fail.

Understanding the "life-cycle" of any consumable good offers a fairly accurate sense of how "green" it really is -- basically, where things come from and what happens to them when we are done with them.

Wall Street can produce another bubble, but that won't put the 15 million without jobs to work, one third of whom have been out of work for at least six months.

What is "free trade"? What is "fair trade"? "Weak dollar" policy? "Strong dollar" policy? Most people don't know so conservatives can easily come in and label something as fair trade that isn't necessarily good for anyone.

In the last piece, we had just received 30,000 damaged components -- and I was suddenly suffering from severe acid reflex, brought on by stress. But this is the story of a bit of our bright light!

Won't new climate legislation hurt American industry? Won't it send jobs overseas? The answer is no, it won't.

The mainstream media needs to stop fetishizing the new economy. We can't eat electronic food or wear electronic clothes. We can't all be consultants forever, and America can't keep spending more than it earns.

Pittsburgh's experience offers a road map for American cities adjusting to manufacturing downturns and the new realities of the modern global economy.
Eric Lotke | Posted 09.21.2009 | Politics
The G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh provides an opportunity for Americans to move beyond shibboleths of free trade and protectionism and to question the true functioning of the market.

Prices for tires could rise by $3 per tire, while the economic benefits to the nation--in the form of jobs and wages saved, taxes paid, and corporate profits--will more than double that.
Dave Johnson | Posted 09.18.2009 | Business
Why, exactly, is protectionism so bad? Why can't we have fair trade that lifts workers and protects the environment instead of unregulated free trade that exploits workers and the environment?
Dave Johnson | Posted 09.15.2009 | Business
President Obama has decided to enforce our trade laws and imposed a three year tariff on Chinese tires. I suspect the country is about to witness a corporate hissy fit.

The ultimate goal must be to bring manufacturing back to a critical mass in this country. One major problem is that all the input suppliers and customers for manufacturers are moving abroad.
Dave Johnson | Posted 11.08.2009 | Business
Of course other countries have an interest in taking manufacturing business away from us to have for themselves.

A country's economic power comes from manufacturing. But while other countries have industrial policies, America has a de-industrialization policy.
Dave Johnson | Posted 10.17.2009 | Business
We are used to this kind of bad, antisocial, economically destructive behavior from self-interested American companies, organizations and people. And for some reason we seem to tolerate it.
Edwin D. Hill | Posted 09.21.2009 | Politics
Manufacturing is moving into a new, energy-efficient stage, but it's in danger of leaving out the American worker altogether without an aggressive approach in Washington to encourage its domestic growth.
