of how the Mellon family refused to invest in the steel industry in the US causing not just our steel industry but dependent industries such as our automotive industry to fall behind. Advanced manufacturing of steel is one of the many areas where the current regime wants to give up global leadership.

So the question of the day is: how does all this relate to "Reindustrialization as the forlorn hope of a Narcissistic Culture"?

What I think is funny is that everybody wants to create manufacturing jobs today but prior to deindustrialization people seemed to think factory jobs were the worst, see
Germany in the Altes Reich had a rigid system of noble status where you were a landowner (solar economy) or nothing. They were quite shocked to find that all of a sudden you had status because you were a doctor or a lawyer or a scientist or a businessmen and that the people who were in these positions were people who were excluded from the old systems.
I think Chinese people have idealized education for a really long time (it is not enough to be a warrior, you have to be a warrior and a scholar) but yeah, the "100 years of humiliation" adds to the pressure. Other ethnic groups come to different conclusions as many blacks would say "they won't let you do anything with that degree"
