Notes to the President
How Business Leaders Would Reinvigorate the Economy
Aspen Institute, 2016
Aperçu
What immediate steps should the next US president take to revive the economy?
Recommendation
As the 2016 US presidential election approaches, corporate leaders agree on one priority: The next president must “change the tone in Washington” in pursuit of early bipartisan economic wins that unify the nation. Aspen Ideas Festival’s panel of business leaders relays advice for the 45th US president, be it Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, and outlines its policy preferences for the next four years. Though the conversation sometimes drifts off on tangents, getAbstract recommends this discussion to US corporate leaders, America’s electorate and the next US president.
