Revitalizing America’s Entrepreneurial Leadership
by Henry R. Nothhaft with David Kline
The clock is ticking on America’s future. The innovation underpinnings of our economic strength grow weaker by the month. Yet with all our problems, our nation still has something that is unique in all the world: a culture of enterprising inventiveness in which risk is rewarded.
That is our saving grace. That, and a remarkable ability to pull our heads out of the sand, sooner or later, and correct our mistakes – an ability which led Winston Churchill to remark, “The American people always do the right thing…after they’ve tried every other alternative.”
How can America revitalize its innovation and leadership and kick-start the economy again? In Great Again, serial entrepreneur and high-tech executive Henry Nothhaft takes us inside the heart of the communities most responsible for innovation and shows how a few practical reforms can get our economy moving again.
America has tried the big government approach and the no government approach. Now it’s time we tried the smart government approach - one that balances the “minimal but necessary” role of government with policies that effectively support the one and only engine of job creation and economic growth in America: the entrepreneurial start-up.
Filled with evocative stories, telling examples and surprising evidence of the singular role played by high-tech startups in American economic growth, Great Again presents an action plan that entrepreneurs and policymakers can rally behind.
