                                                 Global Car examines

                                             n  globalization by exploring the

                                                 dynamics of the automotive

                                                 global supply chain. The car

                                                 is a symbol of American

                                                 ingenuity and technological

                                                 progress. Beyond that, it is a

                                                  symbol of the American psyche. But there's probably not truly an American car that's built anymore.

 

Consumers often do not appreciate how much their lifestyle depends on global networks of goods and services. Trade balance, domestic content, off-shoring, outsourcing - what do these things mean to the average American? By looking at one vehicle - the Dodge Ram pickup - and tracing the origins of its component parts from all over the world, a symbol of the world economy appears, and it is in your garage.
