More DescriptionThe innovation engine that powered the U.S. economy to unmatched prosperity since World War II is failing--threatening the way we work and live. America has lost its leadership position in critical new technology sectors like biotech, alternative energy, next-generation LED illumination, and advanced materials. Real per capita income is down. Job growth is stalled. And small business, the key driver of economic growth in the US, is faltering.
How can America revitalize its entrepreneurial leadership? In Great Again, serial entrepreneur Hank Nothhaft takes us inside the heart of the communities most responsible for innovation and shows how a few practical reforms can get America's economy moving again. This book is an irresistible call to action for:
· Removing regulatory shackles from start-ups
· Fixing the patent office to incentivize innovation
· Creating smarter government support of basic science and research
· Offering meaningful incentives to rebuild our manufacturing sector
· Easing immigration rules to turn America's brain drain into a brain gain
Filled with evocative stories and telling examples, Great Again presents an action plan that entrepreneurs and policymakers can rally behind.
