Payback: The Pursuit of Economic Self-Reliance and Independence

By Craig Barnes

"The best revenge is massive success." Frank Sinatra hit the nail on the head regarding payback, whether it's Hollywood vendettas or U.S. foreign policy toward China. America built its own super-enemy through decades of Chinese imports. But following the economic and personal damage from the Spring of 2020 crisis, it's time Uncle Sam got some Payback Bringing back Chinese manufacturing to America will bring higher wages, more jobs, and massive success.

Payback tackles this enormous project, one bite at a time. Much of the work will have to be solved by changes in U.S.-China relations, but you and I have a role to play in American independence from Chinese imports.

Following the recommendations in Payback, America can:
- Revive Rust Belt states' manufacturing industries from 1.3% growth in 2019 to 7.8% in 2021.
- Solve its Southern border immigration problems by reallocating Chinese imports toward Mexico and Central America
- Ensure its Healthcare Security by demanding American-made pharmaceuticals and medical supplies
- Protect its Nutritional Security through identifying Chinese-made foods to boycott

As America faces Cold War II with China, the United States needs a game-changing strategy from its government leaders. The first step - form a bi-partisan plan to reshore Chinese manufacturing to American workers of high-end technologies. The next step - reallocating low-end products (apparel, plastics) to strengthen our emerging-economy allies. And finally, a campaign to inspire American consumers to boycott Chinese imports, from tilapia to sneakers.

Written for the U.S. consumer, Payback uses revenge movie and pop culture references in engaging ways to urge the reader toward action. From Thor to Michael Corleone, Payback pays homage to our favorite defenders to illustrate the immediate need for the U.S. to untangle itself from China, politically and economically.

Meticulously researched and packed with unique insights, Payback lays out a win-win strategy for America to develop a self-reliant economy, help its allies move into the First World, and prevent China from gaining preeminence on the global stage.
