PERSPECTIVES: "Factory Man:" the offshoring of America's workers

Little, Brown, and Company

Credit --David Hungate

Louie's conversation with author Beth Macy uncovers interesting details as to how a series of articles Macy wrote for the Roanoke (Va.) Times became a New York Times best seller, and how John Bassett III tried to save the American worker from the unemployment line. The book is a tribute to American knowhow, and the fight against foreign takeover.
