This is very true.

If you live in Brazil, support "made in Brazil' - in Australia "made in Australi" and so on.

Local manufacturing strength is what allows a country/region to survive recession.

The lack of local manufacturing is what is going to really make it hard for the western countries to come out of this recession.

And local manufacturing does mean "protectionism" - it just means a strong local manufacturing sector can exist in many trading partner countries. Having all the service jobs in one and all the manufacturing in the other is not a good scenario.
