Why Apple Makes iPhones In China And Why The US Is Screwed

19. The only way to fix our economic problems is to remove profit from current practices.

Replacing NAFTA, the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank, and the Federal Reserve, and its ilk with more economically sensible institutions, and rewriting the tax codes to provide the appropriate incentives to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US would be a viable solution.

However, with the huge amounts of money available to the corporations, the hackable voting machines running our elections, a large number of corrupt politicians, and the large number of unbelievably stupid voters, don't look for improvements anytime soon.

Another solution would be a consumer "revolt" in which consumers in large numbers would buy only American-made goods and shun imports from low-wage countries. This is not foreseeable at this time in a country where shoppers trample each other in a rush to buy overpriced imported junk.

I don't foresee a solution anytime soon.
