COMPETITIVENESS PERFORMANCE: MORE THAN EARNINGS PER SHARE

The speakers focuses on eleven points that the U.S. needs to address: an education system that provides the world's best-prepared workers; competitive health-care systems that maintain high quality standards at world-class cost levels; a full competitive after-tax cost of capital with a major portion of the "peace dividend" going to reduce the cost of capital investment; progrowth tax policies that encourage research and development and private investment; controlled growth of government spending; reform of the tort liability system; coordinated monetary, fiscal and trade policies to assure competitiveness in world markets; a more aggressive approach to the balance of trade problems; exchange rates that reflect the clout of home markets; regulations evaluated to ensure the benefits to society justify the costs; and closer cooperations between business, government, labor, and educational institutions on meeting competitive and societal goals.
