Anne-Marie Slaughter

Mark Mykleby

Mark Mykleby writes that the complexity, competition, and interconnectedness of a new century require a fresh perspective on the U.S.' enduring goals of prosperity and security and that our current path is simply unsustainable. Over time, the best way to shape the force of the future is to invest in the science, technology, education, and training. Mark Mykleby is interviewed by Terrence McNally who is a radio host (KPFK 90.7fm in LA, WBAI 99.5fm in NY), featured journalist at Alternet.org.
