Dr. Dambisa Moyo
... an American
Made Hero!
Author & Economist
Zambia-born, Moyo's thoughts on American competitiveness echo those of popular American sentiment--that Americans have a special disposition, one that makes them extremely resilient and innovative in times of crisis. While concerns are raised about the demoralization of Americans, as they watch other countries grow and prosper, Moyo is quick to say that she doesn't think the American public is that quick to lose hope.
"Americans in particular are renowned for bouncing back.
We've seen this time and time
again and that is in part the purpose of my book--a call against complacency. Things are going to get much better," says Moyo.
"Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an
overloaded airplane by removing its engine.
It may feel like you’re flying high at first, but it won’t take long before you’ll feel the impact" says Moyo.
For Dr. Dambisa Moyo's clear and detailed review of the strengths and weaknesses of today's America relative to the global
economy, and for her call for our leaders to focus on protecting our domestic manufacturers first as we fix America's key
structural weaknesses, we applaud Dr. Moyo for stating her vision, though unpoplar amongst her peers,
and we welcome her as a member of American Made Heroes!
Ms. Moyo's new book "How the West Was Lost: Fifty Years of Economic Folly--and the Stark Choices Ahead" calls into question
well-meaning intentions of USA leaders and pushing them/us to think more about better implementation of new policies.
She deails how some of America's most pressing challenges such as education, energy, and
health care, for example, are structural issues that will need long-term foresight, instead of the standard quick fix.

"The innovation competition between Asia and the West is a significant theme at the moment and Moyo's book capitalizes on that theme as well, but instead of making it out to be an East versus West issue, she says it's the West versus "the rest." "

Patriotism, Jobs Primary Motivations for 'Buying American'
Six in 10 say they would pay more to buy U.S. made products!
PRINCETON, NJ -- Forty-five percent of Americans say they recently made a special effort to buy products made in the United States. When asked why,
these shoppers mainly cited patriotic or altruistic goals related to the national economy, including creating and keeping jobs in the U.S., rather than
product-specific considerations such as quality, safety, or cost.

"Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear
to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufacturers. Every nation ... ought to endeavor to possess within
itself all the essentials of a national supply. They comprise the means of subsistence, habitation, clothing and
defense ... The expediency of encouraging manufactures in the United States, which was not long since deemed very
questionable, appears at this time to be pretty generally admitted."
