The key to long-term prosperity is
how quickly America can transform the results of corporate restructuring and
technological advances into a job-creation machine. America has the potential
to create new industries, new jobs, and new products that can compete
effectively in global markets. Isolationism and protectionism aren't the
answers. Among America's greatest assets is our free-market system, which
provides the opportunity for the constant creation of new enterprises and new
jobs.
In this
chapter you learn:
The
government has the potential to unleash the job-creation machine.
What
specifically the government can do to reinvent itself. Bullets are used to
highlight specific action steps the government can check off upon completion.
American
values that served us well in the past can provide a source of competitive
advantage now and in the future.
Key points are reinforced by relevant quotes and by linking William Shakespeare's King Lear to William Sandy's Leadership Selection Criteria. Additionally, using the "political analysis" format, an innovative answer is offered to America's anti-investment, anti-savings, anti-success, anti-work tax code. Finally, an “action alert” or “call to action” is issued encouraging the reader to contact his or her representative with any ideas they like from Chapter 9.
