THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED

Clyde V. Prestowitz, Jr., founder and President of the Economic Strategy Institute, will discuss WHY America is losing the global economic sweepstakes and HOW it can still win.

For thirty years Mr. Prestowitz has helped shape U.S. policy on globalization and economic competitiveness. As Counselor to the Secretary of Commerce in the Reagan Administration, he led U.S. trade and investment negotiations with Japan, China, Latin America, and Europe and also served on the staff of Vice President Bush. In the 1990s, he was Vice Chairman of President Clinton’s Commission on Trade and Investment in the Asia-Pacific Region and served on the U.S. Export-Import Bank Advisory Board. Prior to joining the Commerce Department, he was a business executive with Scott Paper Company, Egon Zehnder International, and American Can Company in the United States, Europe, Japan, and throughout Asia and Latin America. Prestowitz has also been an adviser to Intel, FedEx, Ford, Chrysler, Boeing, and a number of other major corporations.

He regularly writes for leading publications, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, Fortune, and Foreign Affairs and is the author of several best-selling books including Trading Places; Asia After the Miracle; Rogue Nation; and Three Billion New Capitalists. His latest book, The Betrayal of American Prosperity: Free Market Delusions, America’s Decline, and How We Must Compete in the Post-Dollar Era, addresses how we can restore our economic leadership and excellence.
