My article a few days ago on the Amazon’s inability to manufacture a Kindle in the USA and the decline of manufacturing attracted a lot of interest, many supporting comments and a number of questions.

In many of the generous retweets of my articles, Why Amazon Can’t Manufacture A Kindle In The USA, and Does It Really Matter?, I saw comments like “a sad review of American manufacturing’s decline” or “disturbing piece on the loss of US manufacturing.”
These comments, while being correct as far as they go, miss the key point of the article, which is only partly about the decline of manufacturing. The main thrust of the article is the decline of management. Outsourcing and the loss of whole sectors of the economy are the consequence of anachronistic management in the Fortune 500 that is ill-adapted to the needs of the modern economy.
