 Chapter 1, Bring My Job Home, covers how economies work and why we need to heed Alexander Hamilton's advice. It points out that simply moving money around or creating a service economy, do you want fries with that, doesn't produce long-lasting wealth in a country. Only manufacturing does. Political economist Adam Smith pointed out that it's the application of human labor to raw materials, his example was turning a tree branch into an axe handle, that fuels a growing economy.
