Quoted: The United States may not be the industrial dynamo it was a half-century ago, but reports of the death of American manufacturing are greatly exaggerated. The country has not even been toppled from first place among nations. Measured as value added, the United States accounted for 23.8 percent of the world's manufacturing output in 2004, according to the World Bank. And despite more than two decades of globalization, the country's share has barely dipped. The annual average since 1982 has been 24.6 percent.
