Re-shoring manufacturing jobs links

Bringing manufacturing (secondary sector) jobs back to the US is a big goal of many politicians and businessmen. It is actually already happening, but the jobs are more high-tech manufacturing not the older basic goods manufacturing that probably will not come back soon.

There are several good books and articles in the past couple years on "re-shoring" manufacturing jobs:

Re-Made in the USA is a great book by Todd Lipscomb a US business representative who worked over a decade in Asia. He makes a clear argument that it makes sense to bring manufacturing jobs home. Reasons include proximity of producers to customers which cuts delivery time and allows more flexibility; better quality and craftsmanship of American-made products; and US companies' lack of ability to adequately supervise production overseas and having to rely on local managers.
