Publisher's Synopsis
The next several decades will bring about dramatic social, economic and technological changes in the United States and the world. This book examines how these changes will either ameliorate or exacerbate America's problems. How will - fast-breaking technological change, a rapidly aging and diversifying population, a flood of immigrants, spotty schools and an inefficient health care system - all these changes be dealt with?;The book identifies these and other concerns, and offers a scenario of how to reunify an increasingly divided society, and forge a hemispheric economic alliance with other nations.
