At a time when debate is raging about how to create jobs and revive
the American economy, veteran business writer William J. Holstein
argues that the best way for us to recover our economic footing is to do
what Americans do best-innovate and create new industries. Contrary to
the perception that the American economy has run out of inspiration and
new ideas, Holstein uses compelling case studies to celebrate the
innovation and business success being experienced in many industries,
from technology and energy to retraining and exporting, across the
country, from Boston to Orlando, Pittsburgh to San Diego.In
the face of economic powerhouses such as Japan and China that are
pursuing conscious national strategies, Holstein argues that Americans
must find new avenues of cooperation among universities, business, and
government to create the kind of sustainable growth we need. Replete
with fresh insights into how Americans can create a real economic
recovery, The Next American Economy is essential reading for business leaders, politicians, strategists, and anyone who cares about our future.
