He shows that although Americans are better off today in most areas than they were in 1960, they have performed poorly compared with other leading industrial nations What has caused this relative decline, and what can be done about it? By assessing the state of the nation through a wealth of data and identifying the reasons for its current condition, this book helps set the agenda for improving America's performance in the future.
