Abstract

Reshoring is picking up steam for a reason: supply chain companies in the US are realising that further globalisation comes with trade-offs that have been revealed to be more costly than anticipated in the long run. Globalist pressures to move manufacturing out of the US and further centralise control over the decisions made in the supply chain are an enemy that must be stopped if the US values the sovereignty of the nation, the purpose of the supply chain’s work and the future of supply chain businesses. Luckily, advances in manufacturing technology favour a decentralised approach that prioritises localisation, customisation and reduced waste. This approach would be more likely to achieve the reported economic aims of the globalist agenda, without requiring US businesses to cede decision-making power to plutocrats or submit to inferiority in productive capacity under a globalist vision for the future.
