To hear the media tell it, arrogant corporate chiefs failed to foresee the demand for small, fuel-efficient cars and made gas-guzzling road-hog SUVs no one wanted, while the clever, far-sighted Japanese, Germans and Koreans prepared and built for the future.
I dissent. What killed Detroit was Washington, the government of the United States, politicians, journalists and muckrakers who have long harbored a deep animus against the manufacturing class that ran the smokestack industries that won World War II.

Who Killed Detroit?
by Patrick J. Buchanan
Who killed the U.S. auto industry?
To hear the media tell it, arrogant corporate chiefs failed to foresee the
demand for small, fuel-efficient cars and made gas-guzzling road-hog SUVs no
one wanted, while the clever, far-sighted Japanese, Germans and Koreans
prepared and built for the future.
I dissent. What killed Detroit was Washington, the government of the United
States, politicians, journalists and muckrakers who have long harbored a
deep animus against the manufacturing class that ran the smokestack
industries that won World War II.
