What products, specifically? I think over the last 70 or 80 years or so, manufa
cturing quality has probably gone up across the baord everywhere. I think there
are a lot of products where the process to build them are improved over time.
I've seen this in what people say about guitars - A lot of the budget guitars so
ld in the US are made in other countries (Mexico, China, Indonesia, and Korea, a
mong others). It used to be that a lot of people would say US-made guitars are b
etter in quality, but these days, I've seen a lot of reviews of such guitars say
ing their build quality is excellent.
Similarly, with cars, in the 80s, I remember hearing about quality problems with
cars from American companies. I think American car makers have learned and hav
e gotten better since then. But also, some American car companies have factorie
s in Mexico and other countries that make some of their cars.
