That's true to a point. However bigger effects were the rise in executive compensation, the loss of labor and corporate regulations, and the resurgence of the shipping industry such that it was cheaper to ship from China than to make it in the US. It's true that demand for US manufactured goods has fallen, but there's no reason our current Service economy should struggle like it is.
