I think that's wrong. If American-made products were of better quality, some people would buy them even if the price was higher. The problem - and nothing exemplifies this better than the auto industry - is that all too often, American products give lower quality at a higher price.
I think a good part of this can be traced to a mindset that denigrates technologists as geeks and nerds, so that money that ought to go to R&D instead goes to styling and advertising.
