From the shuttered factories of the rust belt to the look-alike strip malls of the sun belt---and almost everywhere in between---America has been transformed by its relentless fixation on low price. This pervasive yet little examined obsession is arguably the most powerful and devastating market force of our time---the engine of globalization, outsourcing, planned obsolescence, and economic instability in an increasingly unsettled world.

We used to make things in this country. We were the dazzling innovators, the undisputed world economic leaders, and with our manufacturing engine driving the process, we built a solid, high-achieving middle class.

Most get-rich books are gimmicky. They focus on one artificial technique, like cutting out lattes, that will supposedly make you a millionaire (in 30 years, maybe). But for many of us, the enormity of the challenge leads to fear, confusion, frustration, and failure.
