"In Christopher Payne’s new book of 'industrial' photographs, Made in America, he writes, 'Many people I know have never set foot in a factory. Decades of global outsourcing and a flood of cheap imports have decimated sectors of American manufacturing and hollowed out once-thriving communities.' So, he set out to explore the massive industrial power that still exists in this country—and the result is a set of photos that will make you proud. 

"From the craft to the space industries, Payne cannot help but raise our expectations of what the American worker is capable of doing, and implicitly conveys an optimistic sense of what’s being accomplished, despite the realities of global manufacturing competition. This book is not patriotic propaganda. It is awesome and real. Or, as Payne writes, 'As environmental concerns and the pandemic have become urgent wake-up calls for us to rethink global supply chains, U.S. manufacturing is making a comeback.'” - Steven Heller
