Synopsis

"In this challenge to conventional wisdom, Eamonn Fingleton takes aim at the information economy's claim to have superseded manufacturing as the engine of America's future prosperity. Fingleton exposes startling flaws in the current view that the United States can be preeminent in the global economy by focusing exclusively on so-called postindustrial businesses such as finance, computer software, Internet services, and entertainment."--BOOK JACKET. "In Praise of Hard Industries offers an authoritative and deeply disturbing counterargument to the many unexamined assumptions and glibly misstated facts that are driving our embrace of postindustrialism."--BOOK JACKET.
