Deindustrialization refers to a decline in the industrial sector of an economy, often accompanied by a decrease in manufacturing jobs. This is what is currently happening in the United States, as companies are outsourcing labor to other countries with cheaper production costs. Industrialization would refer to a period of growth in the industrial sector, which is not currently occurring in the US. Post-modernization and modernization are broader terms that do not specifically relate to changes in the industrial sector.
