, a controversial 1995 analysis that was praised by J.K. Galbraith and Bill Clinton, to show that a heedless America was fast losing its formerly vaunted leadership in advanced manufacturing to Japan.His 1999 book, In Praise of Hard Industries: Why Manufacturing, Not the Information Economy Is the Key to Future Prosperity, anticipated the American Internet stock crash of 2000.
