labor unrest in the 1950s and 1960s caused GE to branch out beyond Pittsfield. The manufacturing industry that was so prominent in the region began to fall off in the 1970s, a trend that continued into the 1980s. GE began expanding globally rather than domestically
On how what happened in Lancaster reflects a larger trend in capitalism
When you can pay a foreign worker a third or less of what you're paying a unionized flint glass worker in Lancaster, that's an element, but it's far from the only one. We seem to have this shrugging-shoulders belief that this is all some sort of natural evolution, like how the dinosaurs died. But what I'm trying to argue in the book is that some of this, at least in part, results from a series of conscious decisions [by] politicians, economists, business people, financiers.
Chris Hedges 【一个激进作家、新闻工作者】 described the city he saw in 2010: "Youngstown, like many postindustrial pockets in America, is a deserted wreck plagued by crime and the attendant psychological and criminal problems that come when communities physically break down."
According to one factory owner in Youngstown, Ohio, “There are good-paying jobs and the opportunity for people in our area. We just can’t find people to show up who can pass a drug test”
去年在《彼得森国际经济研究所Peterson Institute for International Economics》一个研讨会上，大家分析当前产业就业的挑战，主要是机器人，劳工关系。Autor提到他和经济学界的共同看法：中国冲是一个历史性的事件，以前没有，以后也不再会发生，而且中国的人口结果说明中国再也没有这样的能力了。
其实美国制造业的相对产能并不高，如今只占美国经济的20%左右，单纯看绝对产能是没意义的，因为所有国家的相关行业的绝对产能都在增加，因为技术在进步。
如果清楚历史，尤其是从奴隶制就开始的经济模式，就不难看出如今的世界经济在资本主义经济模式下与奴隶制并没有本质区别，永远在寻找最好是奴隶性质的劳动力，美国不过是把这事情弄到了国外罢了。
人类最终会走到对机器人奴役的地步，这是可以预见的。
而马斯洛的人类社会心理需求层次的理论提供了原因。只要没有世界规模的大战，全球化这件事就是没有回头路的。
楼下有人问“高端制造业中共国有吗？”，看看六十年代made in Japan是什么概念？
是本世纪初十年made in China的概念。而到了80年代时made in Japan又是什么概念？
就知道到了2030年代made in China是什么概念。
一个国家只要通过经济积累了资金，就会在科技上有突破，因为会吸引世界上最多的科学家，比如美国如今一流的教授也有开始去中国工作的了，这指的是非华人，这是中国开始开发移民的主要因素。
毕竟中国方面出的钱，尤其是机会开始超过美国了，而一个科学家的生命是有限的，谁不愿意有机会。
中国也会有进入后工业时代的过程，届时制造业也会移除中国，只有一个例外。
就是出现计划经济。
