Praise For Make It In America: The Case For Re–Inventing The Economy "Andrew presents a realistic and informed view of America′s manufacturing problems and what needs to be done about them." — Warren E. Buffett "Andrew Liveris has hit a raw nerve regarding American economic competitiveness. His book is required reading for anyone in politics or business who believes in both America′s greatness and future. He′s absolutely right! We can come back—and big!" — Jon M. Huntsman , Chairman and founder, Huntsman Corporation "Andrew Liveris has delivered an informed, timely, and provocative blueprint for revitalizing America′s economic might. It′s an important book for anyone seeking an experienced business leader′s view on what America must do to compete effectively in the twenty–first–century global economy." — W. James Mcnerney, Jr. , Chairman, President, and CEO, The Boeing Company "In this passionate argument for a strong U.S. manufacturing sector, Andrew Liveris rejects the false dichotomy between the ′old′ and ′new′ economy and between ′low–tech′ and ′high–tech′ businesses. Manufacturing industries have a powerful multiplier effect on growth up and down the supply chain. To strengthen this vital sector, we need to shore up the very things—R&D, technological superiority, and investment–friendly public policies—that will create jobs, competitiveness, and opportunity throughout the entire economy." — Ivan Seidenberg , Chairman and CEO, Verizon "Liveris delivers a clear and compelling case for maintaining a robust manufacturing sector in the global marketplace of the twenty–first century. Every American who is concerned about the current or future state of our economy should read this book. For those who believe, as I do, that a strong manufacturing base is vital to creating jobs, innovation, and prosperity, this is a book to read and recommend to everyone you know." — Bill Ford , Executive Chairman, Ford Motor Company
