| "Once we have a clear view of what the country needs from our corporations, we will find that there is no shortage of ways, compatible with our own history, to move toward these goals. There are incentives that we can give corporations that make it profitable for them to act in ways that benefit the country; there are incentives that will attract more productive companies; and there are ways to better take into account the interests of all those who contribute to economic growth." -- Dr. Gomory |

Does America Need Manufacturing?
"To a large extent our government has not yet realized that the self-interests of our corporations, especially our large
global corporations, can diverge from the interests of our country. We need to find ways to fundamentally "change the
motivations of corporations to align with those of our country

Ralph Gomory
... selected as an American Made Hero!
- Former Senior Vice President of Science and Technology at IBM.
His clear views on the historical and present importance of domestic manufacturing has earned Mr. Gromoy membership in
AmericanMadeHeroes.com!
Professor Gomory’s research interests include studies of the nature of technology and product development, and models of international trade that include technological change and economies of scale. He has contributed extensively to the mathematical fields of linear and integer programming. He co-authored the MIT Press book, Global Trade and Conflicting National Interests with NYU Stern Professor William Baumol.
In this new era of globalization the interests of companies and countries have diverged. In contrast with the past, what is
good for America’s global corporations is no longer necessarily good for the American people.
“The result is that U.S. companies are contributing to the development of China and simultaneously contributing to the
loss of jobs and destruction of industries in the United States. Nevertheless, they are doing these things in the pursuit
of the widely accepted corporate goal of maximizing profits,” said Dr. Ralph E. Gomory, who until recently was head of the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and currently is Research Professor at New York University.
"Specializing in innovation is an attractive idea, but a misleading one; an idea that blinds us to what we really need to do."
"We need to do more than produce exciting new ideas; we must also be able to compete in large productive industries. This
requires us to both balance trade and to motivate our corporations not only to innovate, but also to produce in this
country. While this is hard to do, it can be done. Specializing in innovation, though often recommended, is in fact a
delusion, an alluring path that in reality will lead us straight downhill."
