Thank you for making this so explicit: it was the unions of the industry/sector and not the industry/sector itself that made those jobs great.

This exposes the great flaw (or covert design) in Trump’s plan.

Bringing back manufacturing, like garment production (ugh) without unions would be to bring back slave labor.

I wonder if, in the future, now that Trump is dead set on destroying what little is left of our credibility with trading partners after only his first few months, if we have to resurrect Keynes’ Bancor?

Better that than another country.

China sure seems to be making a play to set up a gold back currency.
