OMG - The Trump deplorables were right! Liberal media outlet Quartz story shows how and why economists and statisticians missed the boat on the real reason behind decline of manufacturing in USA - not automation but foreign competition and currency manipulation. By the way, I love the Quartz logo (although our memers' Qs are better).

 

Long read but worthwhile:
