American Made Hero Awards. We celebrated America's Andy Grove at this 1st "Gathering of Heroes" event! |
|
M.I.T. -- You don't sound confident that the U.S. will recapture manufacturing jobs.
Andy Grove (2011) -- I think all of this is going to happen, but it will happen too late. In World War II, American manufacturing won the war, but even then, it took them two years to get moving, and that was a different world. I don't know any way to break the cycle except to plug away and create enough successes that you begin to raise doubts about the conventional wisdom. |

to read Mr. Grove's article "How America Can Create Jobs"
"I left the restaurant unsettled. Something did not add up. Bay Area unemployment is even higher than the 9.7 percent national average. Clearly, the great
Silicon Valley innovation machine hasn't been creating many jobs of late—unless you're counting Asia, where American tech companies have been adding jobs
like mad for years."
"The underlying problem isn't simply lower Asian costs. It's our own misplaced faith in the power of startups to create U.S. jobs.
Americans love the idea of the guys in the garage inventing something that changes the world. New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman recently
encapsulated this view in a piece called "Start-Ups, Not Bailouts." His argument: Let tired old companies that do commodity
manufacturing die if they have to. If Washington really wants to create jobs, he wrote, it should back startups."
"Friedman is wrong.
"I fled Hungary as a young man in 1956 to come to the U.S. Growing up in the Soviet bloc, I witnessed first-hand the
perils of both government overreach and a stratified population. Most Americans probably aren't aware that there was a time in this country when tanks and cavalry were massed on Pennsylvania
Avenue to chase away the unemployed. It was 1932; thousands of jobless veterans were demonstrating outside the White House. Soldiers with fixed bayonets
and live ammunition moved in on them, and herded them away from the White House. In America! Unemployment is corrosive. If what I'm suggesting sounds
protectionist, so be it."

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

Roundtable with Paul S. Otellini |
Intel Innovation Economy
Roundtable / 2010
Mr. Otellini engaged on topics ranging from the need for widespread broadband infrastructure (“It’s like having an electric
car with no roads”) to China’s growing economic power (“Japan was just the warm-up for the real game: China. … There are
more English speakers in China than there are Americans!”). But Otellini was particularly focused on driving the changes
necessary to fix the economy—and fast. Specifically, Otellini worried that the Obama administration was too distracted by
issues like health care and energy, saying that fixing the economy should take priority over all other legislative issues
