American Made: What Happens to People When Work Disappears is a 2021 nonfiction book by journalist Farah Stockman that examines the human consequences of plant closure, deindustrialization, and outsourced manufacturing in the United States. Centered on workers at Rexnord, a ball-bearing factory in Indiana, the book follows how the loss of stable factory jobs reshapes identity, family life, community ties, and political belief. Rather than treating job loss as an abstract economic trend, Stockman shows how work functions as a source of dignity, routine, status, and belonging. The book is both reportage and social analysis, combining close observation of individual lives with a broader account of globalization, weak labor protections, and the political appeal of promises to revive industrial employment. Its purpose is to explain why the disappearance of work matters far beyond wages alone, and why factory closures can reverberate through American society in lasting ways.
