Classic example of why protectionists often win the political debate: a single Indiana steel mill closure in 2017 gets a book & NPR feature, while everyone ignores the broader trends in Indiana's economy & manufacturing sector npr.org/2021/10/20/104… 
They also ignore the flipside of imports/offshoring - all the foreign investment in Indiana, including (especially) in manufacturing
I guess there's no market for a book abt this (or my awesome, Indiana-made Subaru - which def benefited from lower, pre-tariff steel prices, btw) ibj.com/articles/globa…
Or maybe we could write a book about all the awesome, well-paid jobs (especially in services!) in now-thriving Indianapolis?
