Reimagining the American Dream for a Global Networked Economy
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Our nation has been defined by a simple aspiration that hard work, talent, and creativity can lead to success. This is our American Dream, and it helped create one of our country’s greatest sources of economic strength and national pride: the middle class. Today, however, as globalization and technology eliminate jobs and weaken traditional paths to success, the middle class is in undeniable decline, and so is faith that the American Dream is achievable. But if harnessed correctly, globalization and technology can open up a world of possibilities. Presented by: Markle Economic Future Initiative

The big gears: 1) restore the vitalism and dynamism that is just about killed the economy, read Nobel economist Edmund Phelps latest book "Mass Flourishing;" and 2) restore the political grassroots, powerful tool is the caucus-assembly system for nominating to the primary ballot, read Grassroots Rules, Stanford University Press. Restore the grassroots in business and politics and all the small gears like CEO pay will take care of themselves.
