If you’re tuned to the noise of Fox Business, you have heard all about reshoring and insourcing. The conversation is also happening in the Brexited UK and Tim Minshall, professor of innovation at Cambridge’s Institute of Manufacturing, is writing about it.
Minshall’s book dwells lovingly on devices, such as the little bimetallic widget in every electric kettle that switches it off when it boils. Designed by John Taylor, and still made in the Isle of Man, this device is used perhaps a billion times a day.
After I finish reading “Your Life is Manufactured” with my 13yo son, I’m giving the paperback to my father in law who was a top notch fabricator for Irish Rail.
