The Fetish for Manufacturing Is Foolish

The Fetish for Manufacturing Is Foolish

⋅

Tweet Here’s a letter to Yahoo!Finance: Editor: Uncritically reporting on Michael Pettis’s recent plea for higher tariffs, Jason Ma quotes Pettis’s assertion that America today is “suffering from … a declining manufacturing share of GDP” (“It’s different now: Tariffs can boost U.S. jobs, wages, and the economy, finance professor says,” January 6).
