What does "Made in America" really mean in a world where supply chains stretch across continents, government regulations shift constantly, and domestic manufacturing competes with global priorities?
This book explores the evolving landscape of domestic content policies, U.S. manufacturing, and federal procurement, uncovering how policies like the Buy American Act (BAA) and Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) shape industries, supply chains, and national economic strategy. Made in America moves beyond regulations to examine the broader implications of these laws - how they influence labor practices, reshape business-to-government (B2G) and business-to-business (B2B) relationships, and challenge the balance between economic growth, national security, and global competition.
This is not a compliance guide or technical manual. Instead, it is a thought-provoking narrative that bridges the gap between public policy and private enterprise. Through historical insights, real-world examples, and industry analysis, this book provides a deeper look at the forces shaping America's manufacturing identity.
For business leaders, policymakers, and industry professionals, Made in America offers a compelling exploration of what it truly means to manufacture, source, and build in the United States today.
