Michael Shulman has spent his entire career discovering and examining ”what’s new,” and participating in their life – solar energy in 1977, personal computers IN 1985, digital content in 1995, venture investing and an Internet start up in 1999, financial advisory work since 2001. This focus on “the new” has brought him to the next ”big thing” – an American manufacturing resurgence based on a once in a century revolution in the production and use of fossil fuels. Unlike other analysts, he believes in the importance of seeing things up close.
The Little League team having the after game snack at Starbucks, validating the company is more than a retailer of coffee. Driving past cornfields planted up to the road side and wind breaks being removed, a sign of the ethanol and export to China boom. Conversations with Roman hoteliers and restaurant owners about the severity of the European recession. A sign on the side of a road saying “Frack a well, bring a soldier home.”
Made in America mixes his analytical skills with up front observations and is the first in a series of four books about the renaissance in manufacturing in the United States. FracklandUSA will explore the shale gas boom in the US; Free at Last will examine the implications of American energy independence, something within a decade’s reach; God Bless America, Again will build on the first three books and examine the manufacturing resurgence already underway. Mr.Shulman, a graduate of Georgetown University, is married to former ABC News correspondent Jackie Judd and is the father of twin sons.
