The Next American Economy

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.
