'''Made in USA''' is a [[mark]] [[label]] [[regulation|regulated]] by the [[Federal Trade Commission]] ([[FTC]]) that tells the "[[country]] of origin" of a [[product]] is "all or virtually all" made in the [[United States of America]].
Surprisingly few [[brand]]s of any product are now [[America]]n made. Sadly, the vast majority of products have moved [[offshore]] to mainland [[China]] or other parts of [[Asia]]. Before purchasing [[merchandise]] first check on its "country of origin". Take the time to look at labels. When buying from mailorder catalogs or [[online]], take a minute to call and ask, before you order. If a product listing says "[[import]]ed", then the odds are now better than 80% that it is made in mainland China<ref>[http://survivalblog.com/all-american_tool_manufacturers [[James Wesley Rawles|Rawles, James Wesley]], [[Idaho]], [[American Redoubt]]: [[The Survival Blog]], 2014]. Accessed December 3, 2015</ref> which is one factor that helped China in 2014 so surpass the United States as the world's largest [[economy]]. This is the first time since the post [[Civil War]] era that America is not the world's largest economy.
