The Americans can not really understand the benefits of purchasing cars, electronic goods and services. Most theories of trade over the centuries, 18 and 19 are outdated and useless for the modern world. In addition, most theories of trade in a few decades (as in "free trade") are outdated and obsolete in the modern world.
However, there are a few platitudes about an economist or can keep the consumers. One of them was covered by Robert Ingersoll more than 100 years. Ingersoll said:
"It is better for Americans to buy American, even if you buy the things that cost you more. If we buy a lot of steel rails from England for twenty dollars, so that we have the money and title in England. But if we do a lot steel rails from a U.S. $ 25 to buy, then the U.S. title and money. "
What is true for steel rails is for everything else. It is better to buy before its economy, to buy elsewhere. It is better to buy a cinema ticket or a gallon of gasoline in your community to shop elsewhere because they are the receipts of local businesses and local employees, the company employees.
In all cases, but at a higher level, it is better to buy goods from a U.S. company to go because ultimately the profits of American companies and support American jobs. Even if the property outside the United States - is it better to buy than buying a foreign firm producing goods - as is the case for many Ford and GM. In a world divided into sovereign nations, it is essential not to allow the flow of money overseas, if you can not be avoided.
Unfortunately, in many U.S. industries that are not ethical. The automotive industry can be particularly bad, but other sectors are facing competition from abroad successfully.
The United States for decades, the world market for many consumers for cars. Consumption of China has surpassed the U.S. in 2009, but the country remains dependent and dependent on cars and trucks. However, the market share for domestic companies has fallen, largely from foreign competition.
The Wall Street Journal, thirteen cars, buy and sell vehicles in the U.S., with a market share of 1.4 percent of the market. Only three of them are Americans.
The so-called Big Three dominate only 44.7 percent of the domestic market, while foreign companies have a large influence on the other 55.3 percent. This means that for every dollar spent in the U.S. with the purchase of vehicles, more than half to a foreign company that seeks to eliminate his rivals in the United States goes. Compared with the exception of some imports from America and Europe, the Japanese car market is 90 percent dominated by Japanese automakers.
How was the land, the car loses its leading role in the industry to adapt invented? It was just a combination of displacement of domestic and foreign indifference.
For decades it was considered fashionable to buy an imported car. They were easy to consume, thanks to government subsidies for American cars and often less fuel.
foreign car manufacturers, began production in the United States to "import" the removal of the label, and consumers were instructed to believe that buying a Toyota or Honda Nissan USA was an investment in the economy. Marketing departments easy access to the fact that buying a Toyota equivalent ignored not buy a GM Chrysler, Ford, O. The purchase of a Toyota products in the country could be a Toyota employee, but also to reduce substantially the work of GM employees, more money, more power and remains a titan of the U.S. industry afloat.
At the same time, there was a discussion about the position of quality for consumers. Foreign cars are imported or manufactured in the factory were generally considered "better" than American cars. They were considered safer, more reliable and longer lasting. In many cases, they have all these things, but only because the foreign firm to help finance his government at home and our government to offset the additional costs. This is no secret that Toyota loses money on every Prius, Camry and Corolla. But the question is not and never was, to make money. He gained market share and restrict competition. Toyota has its losses on the Japanese market, which dominates, and the sale of expensive trucks and SUVs.
This always happens in the U.S. for decades, and dried in the automotive industry in the United States, a shell of its own.
However, change luck for the Big Three. According to the Associated Press, is to increase the American preference for American vehicles. More Americans now prefer American cars from Asian competition. In the wake of major recalls Honda and Toyota, and the discovery of huge U.S. cover-up by the offices of Toyota in view of the potentially fatal errors in some of their cars were told them that's not a car from Asia so perfect as to believe.
The Big Three will take many years for additional services on top in the U.S. to recover, but a change in consumer confidence is a good starting point. Now we expect more Americans start with the basics of import to understand the export and see that American cars are not equivalent or better products to take the only sensible choice is.
