Book Launch: "The Future of Power"

In his new book, Prof. Nye examines the changing nature of power in the global information age and argues that the story of American decline is simplistic and inaccurate. He contends that if the U.S. seems less powerful than it used to be, that may be because all states are less powerful than they were, relative to the power of individuals and non-state groups. At this event, the author and this distinguished panel of experts discussed the book's insights and answered questions on a range of topics on American foreign policy, the critical international challenges of today's world, and how U.S. power can best be deployed to address them.

To the democrats I voted for I make the following appeal: In order to make our economy more robust and our businesses more competitive please 1. raise interest rates to encourage consumers to save more which will also give banks more capital to lend out to businesses and 2. repeal the minimum wage back to the ‘06 level. This is the only way to spur new growth without increasing the deficit. In fact, this would reduce the deficit, reduce unemplymt., and increase bus. growth & competitiveness.
