- Synopsis
- Kanter details six ways to restore America's strengths by returning to open-society principles, viewing this society as one that "invests in people and new ideas, rewards talent and hard work, values dialogue and learns from dissent, operates to high standards with transparent information, looks for common ground, sees problems as opportunities for creative change, and encourages those who are fortunate to help others. " She discusses how America needs to spread innovation and the opportunity to participate in the economic revolution of the twenty-first century, and have a new social contract based on real family values and fair and flexible workplaces attentive to families and women. She also argues for values-based capitalism and responsible companies, government as an instrument of public interest, engagement with the world and other countries, and a community of caring. Kanter (strategy, innovation, and leadership for change, Harvard Business School) has advised CEOs of large and small companies and is the author of several books.
