'Making It in America' Author Rachel Slade on Why American Manufacturing Has a Bright Future

In her latest book, “Making It in America: The Almost Impossible
Quest to Manufacture in the U.S.A. (and How It Got That Way),”
journalist Rachel Slade profiles Ben and Whitney Waxman’s mission
to rebuild Maine’s lost textile industry by founding their own
union-made apparel manufacturer. Slade shares how the Waxmans’
company, American Roots, has fought back against the forces that
conspired to obliterate the American manufacturing base, and why
she’s hopeful for the future of U.S. factories. Photo courtesy of
