* Explores how other nations are building their manufacturing sectors to stay competitive in the global economy, and describes how America has failed to keep up. * Provides an aggressive, practical and comprehensive agenda that will put the U.S. back on track to lead the world. It's time to stop accepting as inevitable the shuttering of factories and staggering job losses that have come to define manufacturing. It's time to acknowledge the cost of inaction. There is no better company to make the case for reviving U.S. manufacturing than the Michigan-based The Dow Chemical Company, one of the world's largest manufacturers and one of its most global corporations. And there's no better book to show why it needs to be done and how to do it than MAKE IT IN AMERICA. Andrew Liveris is Chairman and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company, one of the largest multinational corporations in the world and a leader in science and technology.
Andrew N. Liveris is Chairman and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company, a $45 billion global specialty chemical, advanced materials, agrosciences, and plastics company based in Midland, Michigan.

Liveris was born in Darwin, Australia, and received a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Queensland in Brisbane. Liveris serves on the boards of directors of IBM and Citigroup. He is President of the International Council of Chemical Associations; Vice Chairman of The Business Council; a member of the executive committee of the Business Roundtable; and a member of the U.S. President's Export Council, the U.S.-India CEO Forum, and the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
