| Publisher Description: This timely book not only diagnoses the critical systemic weaknesses plaguing America, but also lays out a workable blueprint for tackling the critical challenges we face today. With the intent of spurring a constructive national dialogue, the authors examine how: -We Americans can be jolted out of our complacency and motivated to bold action and common purpose. -Government can work in concert with industry to foster innovation and pursue critical goals. -We can elevate the quality of our educational system to meet new challenges. -We must encourage the best and the brightest immigrants from around the world to participate in the nation's future. -Individual cities and states are showing the way forward based on local initiatives. This book is more than a compelling narrative and a candid look at our current malaise. It is an inspiring call to action on how we as a nation can once again attain our full potential and thrive. |
