The Titanium Economy

How Industrial Technology Can Create a Better, Faster, Stronger America

De: Asutosh Padhi, Gaurav Batra, Nick Santhanam

Narrado por: Fajer Al-Kaisi

The future of the American economy is hiding in an unlikely place: the manufacturing sector

While Silicon Valley titans dominate headlines, many of the fastest-growing, most profitable companies in the United States are firms you’ve likely never heard of, such as HEICO, Trex, and Casella. These booming companies belong to a burgeoning sector—industrial tech—that offers surprising hope to workers, consumers, and investors alike.

Their role: to make a range of products—aerospace parts, for example, or recycled plastic lumber—that quietly form the backbone of America’s biggest industries.

In an age of instability, industrial tech is a cornerstone of our economic future. In this book, McKinsey veterans Asutosh Padhi, Gaurav Batra, and Nick Santhanam reveal the “titanium economy,” a modern, reinvented industrial sector complete with high-paying, domestic jobs; soaring stock prices; and critical infrastructure. They dispel the myth that the best of American manufacturing is behind us and illuminate an opportunity for a brighter future—if we can seize it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A brilliant and incisive look at what could be the real key to America’s future economic growth—its industrial manufacturing base.”—David Rubinstein, cofounder, the Carlyle Group

“In their fascinating new book, The Titanium Economy, Asutosh Padhi, Gaurav Batra, and Nick Santhanam show that manufacturing is in the midst of a renaissance in the US. The stage is set for a resurgence in America’s industrial prowess but getting there will require some critical changes in both business and government. The Titanium Economy provides the necessary playbook.”—Alan Murray, CEO, Fortune Media

“This book not only amplifies how important manufacturing is to national success, but it also inspires the reader to innovate for customer and stockholder value while advocating for a more adaptive, sustainable planet.”—David Burritt, president and CEO, US Steel

An interesting look into the future of manufacturing

Any interesting insights into the future of manufacturing. The United States can still be a dominant force in manufacturing. There’s still time.

Informative, Insightful, and Hopeful

The authors offer concrete examples of how the heartbeat of American ingenuity and resilience - Manufacturing - is not on life support after all. Rather the opposite. Perhaps a bit weakened and vulnerable as witnessed during global supply chain disruptions, Titanium companies refuse to capitulate. If necessity is the mother on invention, then disruption has been their mother of innovation. I will recommend this as a company book read given the authors advice and encouragement. Great ideas to discuss as we at E Tech Group help guide innovative manufacturing and industrial companies on their Industry 4.0 journeys!
