The Massive Mistake That Ruined Western Manufacturing

May 19, 2026

Show Notes

Macro analyst Craig Tindale breaks down the structural shift that began in the late 1970s when Western economies abandoned physical manufacturing. Under the illusion of moving "up the value chain," elite policies incentivized outsourcing "dirty" industrial jobs to China and India while telling domestic workforces to simply "learn to code." Decades later, the true consequence of this massive financialization experiment is coming to light as the West finds itself completely detached from the material world, heavily exposed to fragile supply chains, and lacking the vital factories needed to sustain itself. #Macroeconomics #History #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #EconomicPolicy #Outsourcing #LearnToCode #Inflation #Financialization #CraigTindale #NatalieBrunell #CoinStories
