Más información sobre el libro

Americans often seem divided along numerous lines—political, racial, economic, and gender. This raises the question: what happened to the ideals of freedom and openness? In this insightful work, a renowned Harvard Business School professor addresses pressing national issues and urges a recommitment to the core values of equality and opportunity. As our highest ideals face challenges from ideologues, the author offers a roadmap to reclaim the American Dream. Blending practical ideas with compassionate guidance, she emphasizes the urgency of protecting our economic vitality and democratic principles. Competing globally requires investment in people and ideas, rewarding hard work, and fostering dialogue. The author outlines six essential strategies for restoring American strengths: expanding prosperity by including all social classes in the innovation economy; promoting family values through fair workplaces; eliminating excess in capitalism for a values-driven approach; reinventing government for effective disaster response; improving America’s global image through grassroots engagement; and fostering a collective ethos through national service. Empowering and optimistic, this work inspires collaboration for a future we can all be proud of, emphasizing the importance of earning global respect once again.
