What a great book by an author with in depth knowledge of all the many topics he presents, including the impact of new technologies and their savvy use by Millennials in virtually every industry; the shortcomings of US education in preparing for today's job requirements; where is the economic growth coming from and where in the future; the critical importance of creating and safeguarding Intellectual Property; US Manufacturing and its global Supply Chain needs; Rise of China economically and militarily; the factors that propelled the US to world leadership and our uniquenesses to keep us there. No matter how much you know about these subjects it is very likely that your knowledge base will grow. Jack F. Nicholson Naples, FL
