This is one of the most impressive aspects of the US economy, production efficiency and producing cheaper goods for the consumer overrides all other interests. One can be inefficient in areas where there is no competition. The US has done well here too. A lot of things they make themselves (planes, software, even arms) cannot be produced by other countries because they do not have the technology. Much of our lack of progress can be traced to being inefficient when there WAS competition. India just kept out the competition by other means. The process of liberalization that has started from 1991 is really a process of competitioni-zation.But there are large swaths of the economy still reeling from the lack of competition and this is why our economic progress is not as fast as it could be Part of the efficiency at producing stuff arises from the willingness to relocate parts of the manufacturing process to wherever it is most efficient (China for engineering goods, India for software) .
