Well, in the past US companies have dealt with offshore lower cost of labor through tech innovation, Dell being the classic example of this. These new VR call systems are examples of technology dealing with labor intensive work that might be cheaper than even the cheapest bodies. Personally I hate those VR call things, but they were getting better and were starting to show up in various financial organizations in the late 90s. As soon as offshoring came in vogue that momentum towards VR automation seems to have died.

RE: "That's the only way I see us getting the manufacturing and services back. " RND and some creative imaginations will create new jobs. ( That assumes, we invest in RND and universities. ) RE: "Africa has been a globalization bystander. I see a lot of pain for developed countries going forward." Smart observation. On another note, Africa is predicted to be a potential terrorist hotbed, so the more this area can be improved, the better. As developing countries improve and as their standards go up, there's less motivation for their citizens to become involved in terrorism like the 9/11 terrorists from an ultra oppressed area in Saudi Arabia.
