Afraid it might be too costly to restart manufacturing again. In England they shut down the coalmines and steelworks, to bring in foreign cheap imports. Now the start up costs means that they can't start up again. And what about bikes? Japan brought cheaper, better, bikes onto the market, and the British bike manufacturers went under. Then the Jap bike prices went up. Same with cars. My first Datsun was really cheap. Now look at the prices, and what happened in Detroit. Will the American car manufacturers ever get going again?
