Run by the same powerful Virginia family for generations, it was also the center of life in Bassett, Virginia. But beginning in the 1980s, the first waves of Asian competition hit, and ultimately Bassett was forced to send its production overseas. One man fought back: John Bassett III, a shrewd and determined third-generation factory man, now chairman of Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Co, which employs more than seven hundred Virginians and has sales of over $90 million. In Factory Man, Beth Macy brings to life Bassett's deeply personal furniture and family story, along with a host of characters from an industry that was as cutthroat as it was colorful. As she shows how he uses legal maneuvers, factory efficiencies, and sheer grit and cunning to save hundreds of jobs, she also reveals the truth about modern industry in America. 610 20 $a Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Company. 610 20 $a Bassett Furniture Industries. 600 10 $a Bassett, John D., $d 1937- 650 0 $a Furniture industry and trade $z United States. 650 0 $a Furniture industry and trade $x Foreign ownership. 650 0 $a Offshore outsourcing. 650 0 $a Globalization. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Kalbli, Kristin, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Hachette Audio (Firm) 710 2 $a Blackstone Audio, Inc., $e publisher. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204075812.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110061729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=720C7244E59011E4B87737CBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
