What I have attempted to make clear throughout this four-part article is the fact that individual or collective greatness, in any field, is rarely achieved by guess work. In most instances, there are fundamental principles that make it happen. The same can be said of creating or restoring a great economy: There were tried-and-true economic principles that brought our nation to economic greatness; then we abandon them, and adopted a new strategy, which created our economic disaster. If we re-implement the old principles, they will put our nation back on the course to economic prosperity, lower unemployment, empowerment for workers ― and economic greatness.
The basic concept is very simple and easy to understand. Currently, there are approximately 6,916,296,180 people in the world. Eighty million more will be added each year. They are consumers, who need products for all areas of their lives. I am convinced that the nation that does the best job of understanding their current needs, anticipating their future needs, and producing the products to meet those needs, will become the nation with the most vibrant economy, lowest percentage of unemployment, and the highest number of inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
The United States of America is the nation that is the most capable of doing this, because its citizens have a greater and more diverse abundance of brains, talents, experiences, and resources. As soon as we find a leader with the courage, vision, and resolve to make this plan a reality, our nation will get back on track to the path of greatness. Let’s hope it happen soon.
