"Read it and spread its call. The data is devastating; the problem clear. We simply aren't educating or training for today's world. Unless we wake up and begin to act now, our economy will inevitable slide and, over time, even our democratic system may be threatened. The solution? Ed Gordon tells us that it does not lie with governmentnational or localalone, or business alone, or community action alone, or family alone. It requires what he sees as a change of culture; we must mobilize the energies of all these elements to stop and reverse the meltdown. We can. But will we?"

"The 2010 Meltdown predicts that a major business culture shift is underway to balance short-term profit taking with long-term human capital development. Gordon suggests how to measure ROI on human capital investments and why employee training, development and education at all levels will be essential for business innovation and, therefore, business survival."

"The 2010 Meltdown strikes a much needed chord for a cultural change in schools and the way we value young people. Schools must become responsive to the real world. There is time to accomplish change, but is there the political will?"
