American business spends too much capital on mergers and financial games and too little time in modernizing factories and floating innovative ventures.

We will also need to demonstrate more powerfully just what we are for, not only by rhetoric but by acting responsibly abroad and building a more just, humane society at home. In particular, as we strive to become more competitive overseas, we must remember that we cannot demonstrate...
