Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. American economic history has traditionally been told as a narrative of industrialization and affluence collapsing into globalization and industrial decay. Offering a reappraisal of this pattern, Manufacturing Catastrophe traces the successive rise and fall of the whaling, textile, garment, electronics, and high-tech industries in Massachusetts over the past two hundred years. It shows how business, labor, and political leaders repeatedly mobilized the lureof crisisDLcheap labor, low taxes, and generous manufacturing subsidiesDLto pull and push both capital and workers across the continents, repeatedly remaking the pioneering industrial cities of Fall River andNew Bedford. WorkersDLranging from migrating Azorean seamen to British weavers to Quebecois farmersDLand capitalistsDLincluding mobile manufacturers, globetrotting whalers, and multinational conglomeratorsDLparticipated in the creation of regional growth and, with it, American industrial ascendance. Exploring the paradoxical and recurring coexistence of high unemployment and labor shortages in these cities, this book explains why recovery and growth have not necessarily translated intolong-term prosperity. In doing so, it illuminates how economic catastrophe was, ironically, a critical ingredient in the making of America's industrial hegemony.
