Although tariffs clearly encourage manufacturing to return to the United States, this is not an easy task. Building up the kind of manufacturing capacity the U.S. once had will take decades, as it did in China. This week, we’ll look at why it’s so hard to reverse a trend that started with RCA’s dissolution in the 1940s and hasn’t changed in a few years: making manufacturing a low priority for the government.
