Reinvesting in America
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The recent election brought about a startling transformation in the nation's conversation
about the economy, circling around the deep economic anxiety of millions of voters.
Trump won the rust belt, and thus, the election, partly due to a long simmering 
rejection of Clintonomics by working families in the industrial Midwest, which suffered
sharp economic declines tied to trade-related losses in manufacturing and union 
jobs since the 1970s.
But Trump wasn't the only "populist" in the 2016 campaign. Democratic candidate 
Bernie Sanders also appealed to angry workers, whether white, black or Hispanic,
 and the urban poor. Sanders echoed the belief that free trade agreements led to
 a loss of American jobs and have depressed American wages. He said America needs
to rebuild its own manufacturing base by using American factories and supporting
 well-paying jobs for American labor rather than outsourcing to China and other 
countries.
It's unclear if Trump will ever accomplish anything to actually help struggling 
industries, much less project a future where innovation and manufacturing actually
advance (especially since he's burning down the federal agencies that assist companies
and workers). But if the Democrats want to win back the Heartland, they will not
 only need to reverse the damage that their trade and financial policies have caused,
but work toward long term investment and capital solutions in the industrial sector.

Revitalizing Manufacturing

The Heartland Network-affiliated manufacturing funds have saved or created tens 
of thousands of good paying jobs over the past 15 years.  Some of their most successful
investments will be featured in a two Century Foundation-commissioned White Papers,
Revitalizing Manufacturing Communities: Building a High Road Commons for Manufacturing

Heartland Managing Director Tom Croft will be contributing to the papers, which 
will be presented at a national conference organized by the Foundation (TCF) and
 its Bernard L. Schwartz Rediscovering Government Initiative. Jeff Madrick, an acclaimed
author, directs the Schwartz Initaitive.
A partnership of the Steel Valley Authority (Heartland's host), High Road Strategies,
LLC and the National Call to Action, a national multi-sector coalition promoting
 economic stabilization and recovery, the conference and papers may then become 
the basis for a broader campaign to rebuild the middle class and revitalizing the
rust belt.
