Greg Olear talks to the best-selling author and journalist Rachel Slade, whose forthcoming new book, “Making It in America: The Almost Impossible Quest to Manufacture in the U.S.A. (And How It Got That Way),” explores these and other ideas. They also discuss unions, Reagan, kaizen, floating capital in emerging markets, work culture, China, American Roots, and the genius of “Animal House.” Plus: a new support group.

Greg Olear welcomes Arthur Snell back to the program. After graduating from Oxford with a first class degree in history, Snell joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
