Session 8 (11/13): Driving U.S. Growth and Competitiveness

Guest: Hilda Solis, Former Secretary of Labor

While other countries have explicit growth strategies, America’s economic policy is largely focused on macroeconomic issues such as deficit reduction and the federal budget.  Karen Mills will conclude the study group series by dissecting the key economic policy questions required to create a competitiveness agenda for America that will support a permanent entrepreneurial ecosystem.  What are the key policy components and what do they cost?  What is the role of public/private partnerships, and how can business take a leadership role?
