This article assesses whether the world economy is actually returning to manufacturing, and in particular, whether this is, or would be, economically sound in light of KLEMS productivity accounting. In this paper, the term 'economic soundness' is applied exclusively to situations in which reindustrialisation is likely to accelerate economic growth. Environmental, social and other pertinent issues are not considered. It has been established that the countries under consideration generally did not reindustrialise during the stipulated periods, despite it being economically advisable to do so. Returning to manufacturing may therefore become a major growth factor in the post-Covid economic reconstruction (which is being prolonged by the Ukraine-Russia conflict). (original abstract)

Celem artykułu jest oszacowanie, czy powrót do przetwórstwa przemysłowego naprawdę ma miejsce w światowej gospodarce, a szczególnie czy jest on ekonomicznie zasadny w świetle rachunku produktywności KLEMS. Ta zasadność ekonomiczna jest w artykule jednoznacznie rozumiana jako sytuacja, w której ta reindustrializacja naprawdę przyśpiesza tempo wzrostu gospodarczego. Pozostałe zagadnienia, takie jak zagadnienia środowiskowe i społeczne, zostały odłożone na bok. Ustalono, że w analizowanym okresach ta reindustrializacja raczej faktycznie nie zachodziła w krajach objętych analizą, ale była zasadna z czysto ekonomicznego punktu widzenia. Dlatego w postcovidowym okresie odbudowy gospodarczej (obecnie przedłużonym z powodu konfliktu pomiędzy Rosją a Ukrainą) powrót do przetwórstwa przemysłowego może się stać ważnym czynnikiem podtrzymującym wzrost gospodarczy.
