The American ability to inspire-which we call exceptionalism-is not
automatic. It takes continued efforts to be realized in a changing
world. In this book, scholars at the Hoover Institution-professors,
thinkers, and practitioners of global renown in their respective
fields-offer a series of accessible policy ideas for civic,
economic, and security architecture that would shore up the
long-term foundations of American strengths. Blueprint for America
takes a beyond-the-Beltway look at the basic policies that should
be prioritized by the next president and Congress. Economists
Michael Boskin, John Cogan, John Cochrane, and John Taylor address
questions of entitlement reform, deficits, monetary reform,
national debt, and regulatory and tax reform. Scott Atlas draws on
his experience in the practice of medicine to tackle the Affordable
Care Act and propose incentive-based health care reforms. Cochrane
returns to reframe the hot-button political discourses on
immigration and international trade. Eric Hanushek addresses the
current performance--and reform--of K-12 education. Retired admiral
James Ellis, retired general Jim Mattis, and Kori Schake offer
their visions of how to restore America's national security through
proactive and realistic agenda setting. Ellis follows with a
rethink of energy security strategy in an era of abundance and
James Goodby expounds on the country's practice of diplomacy in a
time of turbulent transition. George Shultz draws from his
experiences in government, industry, and academia to lead off each
section with a range of clear-eyed observations on spending, human
resources, foreign policy, and, in conclusion, the art of
governance. The spirit of Blueprint for America is positive and
grounded in first principles, offering ideas, diagnoses, solutions,
and road maps for the long view.
