The health of American manufacturing has been a cause of real concern during the 1980s. Foreign competition, hostile takeovers, new technologies and a host of other factors have caused dramatic changes in this key sector of the American economy. Many ob- servers of this process of change are singing the "rust belt blues," consigning U.S. manufacturing greatness to the history books.
