Conditions for a prosperous Main Street and a bullish Wall Street are in place: -Lower taxes -Lower tariffs -Positive demographics -Cutting-edge technology A world ready to prosper in trade as it moves toward capitalism What does it mean to say the lion's share of the economic opportunity will come from revolution, not reform? Finding Opportunity in Change The Technology of information processing is the throttle on the engine of technological advance and prosperity. Where is it going? The Web revolution is about reinventing a world that has barely scratched the surface of what is possible and what is about to become possible. Where are the opportunities?? The Internet connects everybody and makes the planet the relevant market. Now what? Businesses that offer great products customer solutions and the value adds of relentless attention to detail, prompt and friendly service and a well-trained staff with the power to go the extra mile will succeed. But, will all that ensure customer loyalty? How do you achieve lock-in when the Internet has given restless consumers unprecedented information on rival prices and special deals? Globalization and Growth While the driving idea behind globalization is free market capitalism it is the turbocharged engine of the Internet that propels it forward. What are the international economic and political trends that will shape business and investment strategy in a global economy? Developing countries will move from poverty to prosperity because they are shifting from socialism to capitalism. In addition, they are: Reducing tariffs and embracing free trade Privatizing and deregulating their economies Embracing property rights that are deeded and protected Freedom, Limited Government and Public Policy Public policies in health care education, welfare, energy, the environment and social security will gravitate away from government solutions and toward competition and markets. Let's look at the exciting policy alternatives. Freedom and limited government will always catalyze prosperity. Unlimited government forever stifles it. Fortunately, big government is running out of gas. What are the signs of its demise? What will take its place? Since life is more than economics do we need a moral purpose to live happy and well? Is there a connection between faith, family and work? TRAVELS FROM: Arizona FEE CATEGORY: C ($10.5 to 15k)         « Previous | Next »
