NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bestselling author Barr McClellan has completed an epic analysis of the U.S. economy and recovery opportunities in a new book, "Made in the USA," coming in April 7 from Hannover House, a division of Empire Film Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EFGU) (http://www.empirefilmgroup.com). Researched and compiled over a five-year timeframe, McClellan's book describes how the loss of manufacturing jobs in the USA preceded the mortgage meltdown, and how a lasting economic recovery plan must include the resurgence of a strong manufacturing base.
"It's astounding to see how all of McClellan's economic predictions from the past five years are falling into place exactly as outlined," said Eric Parkinson, CEO of Hannover House. "He predicted the mortgage meltdown, the subsequent credit crunch, the stock market collapse, and the nation's inability to recover due to the exportation of manufacturing jobs overseas. On a more positive note, McClellan also predicts that America can recover quickly if consumers make the commitment to buy products that are made in the USA. Buying American-made products keeps the money in our local economy, which supports jobs, mortgage values and ultimately the entire economy."
More than 3.2 million manufacturing jobs in the USA were lost over the past eight years, due primarily to tax policies that reward companies for moving jobs overseas and a total relaxation of common-sense government regulations. McClellan argues that a strong manufacturing base is essential to the livelihood of the American economy, and has been the traditional foundation of the nation's strength. He describes how Fair Trade with other nations is often beneficial, but only if balanced against purchasing policies which give preference to Made in the USA products.
"Made in the USA" will be released to bookstores nationwide on April 7, 2009. The book is priced at $24.95 suggested retail, is 320 pages, non-fiction -- economics. ISBN is 0-9637846-8-4.
Barr McClellan is a respected attorney, author and entrepreneur, with homes in both New York City and Gulfport, Mississippi.

Killed J.F.K." was an insider's account of McClellan's years as an attorney for the Austin, Texas based Clark Law Firm, which represented former President Lyndon Baines Johnson. The book described the motives, opportunities and evidence supporting the conspiracy to remove Kennedy as President, with then Vice President Johnson as his successor.
