Introduction : "No one ever made a plugged nickel betting against the USA" -- A stroll through the innovation corridor -- The rich man's depression -- The United States of creativity -- Abundant, cheap energy -- Money to burn -- America makes things -- Not everything's perfect -- California dreaming -- Opportunities abound.
The author contends that the talk about the relative decline of the United States is not only baseless-it's dead wrong, that the U.S. is the world's dominant manufacturer, and that the U.S has the fastest-growing economic sectors.
