Germany and Japan manage to run manufacturing profitably, I
don't see why we can't, with a lower dollar. It's true that
cost of labor in India and China is much lower, but so is
productivity, even though some may not support that view. I'd
be more optimistic - the effect of lower dollar will bring
back manufacturing, provided that no Zimbabwization is
attempted to save fictitios capital (a possibility). In the
latter case the country will be destroyed. The trend of
lower manufacturing employment is global, and is in part
explained by increased productivity. The output has not
really changed that much.
