The Best Way to Fix Our Economy: Not EasyâJust Right and Best ; Build on Our Strengths or Lose Them Forever

Carôn Caswell Lazar, Richard G. Lazar

Description

The Best Way to Fix Our Economy describes the basic problem of the USA economy in the early-21st century. It is how to restore, re-surge and re-build America. How? The solution is building great new innovative product industries that produce excellent products at good prices that sell in the USA and markets around the globe. They generate sustainable small businesses. That then produces steady jobs that provide income that keeps taxes down and enables sizable profit, incent investment, ROI, continuous R&D and superior products built at competitive prices and helps ensure sustainable industry growth.

The book affords an accurate historical analysis of how America has driven its economy from being the primary product-producer in the world to a service-based economy. The authors describe the simple–not easy–roadmap back to the future to being a product-driven world force by using the Lazars' proven behavioral economic model that they call The Central Productive Processª to create a renewed productive society. The Lazars name 17 innovative product industries that will turn the economy around and restore the practice of true Capitalism in America instead of the personal interest (greed) and financial services system now in place masking as Capitalism. The Central Productive Processª is punctuated with realistic, logical and common sense notions crisply formulated over thirty-five years of "on-the-ground" experience. It is not a theoretical exercise for the reader. It works.

Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight David Eisenhower are cited as two excellent examples of "AND THINKING" leaders who understood that a strong nation combines defense and human needs along with economic growth and human well-being. Their vision of a compassionate and strong American economy has been in decline in America for the last 30 years. While the clarion calls of Roosevelt and Eisenhower have been muffled in the USA, China heeded the call, exceeded all expectations and has grown into an economic power with product-driven national policies. Enhanced by thirty years of peace and neutrality, they have also improved the quality of life and expectations of its citizens. In this book the Lazars light the way to breathing new life into a new economy that is product-based, profitable, productive and progressive.

This work is a renewed clarion call for warring ideological leaders and elected officials to work together to overcome their own weak performance and unwillingness to sacrifice their personal interests for the best interests of all Americans. The nation cries out for them to cease battling each other to the death. The country needs a "new response" to the lagging and weak economy. This book provides the right response for a new economy inherent in the American character. It is time for each and all of us to help our nation rediscover its greatness and ability to resolve internal conflicts with victorious actions.

Preface
We have gone wrong and we can restore, re-surge and re-build. What? Great new innovative product industries that produce excellent products at good prices that sell in the USA and around the globe, that then produces steady jobs that provide income that keeps taxes down and enables sizable profit and incents investment, ROI, continuous R&D and superior products that are built at competitive prices and helps ensure continuous industry growth. The book begins with the urgings and deeply felt wishes of two Presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (R). Both were strong on the need for the USA to grasp the vital aspects of our productive Capitalistic system and the concomitant needs for health care and other dedicated services for all people.
 
We advance our proven Behavioral Economic Model, the Central Productive Process and 17 innovative product industries that will make it all work well to restore true Capitalism. We gave part of it to some people in China 30 years ago when we thought they might be the USA’s largest global market. 30 years later, they implemented it. We didn’t.
Now who is whose largest market?
 
30 years of Role Reversal
We punctuate the model, with realistic, logical and common sense notions gleaned over those thirty years from our “on-the–ground” experience. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and President Dwight David Eisenhower are two perfect examples of “AND THINKERS” as leaders, e.g. defense and human needs along with economic growth and human wellbeing. Both of them seem to have been largely ignored in the last 30 years, while our major competitor China has done it right with a policy embellished by thirty years of peace and neutrality along with economic mastery. Oh yes and a strong military and a strong jobs focus and a phenomenal investment in education. A lot of “ands.”
 
If the USA does set-up a long term Industrial Growth Plan and an actionable policy to get us back on the right track to economic resurgence and steady jobs we can probably be victorious again.
The rest of this work is a heart-felt request that those warring leaders and elected officials work together to overcome ignorance, apathy and a willingness to battle each other to the death.
 
We need a “New response” to our lagging and weak economy. We provide many “responses” with hope and optimism. Please find reasons in here to believe us and let’s uncover our greatness and our ability to resolve our internal conflicts with victorious actions.

FDR’s 1944 Economic Bill Of Rights and Dwight Eisenhower’s Warning
Please read FDR’s last gasp message to Congress in 1944 shortly before he passed on after three terms as President of the USA. Amazing but not shocking that opposition from the very wealthy was as true as it is now in 2009. We at the Build Products That Create Jobs Institute see FDR’s vision as a clarion call to each of us. Note that FDR urged us to fix America first even though WWII was not yet over. We see it that way now. Americans must come first and now. I call upon those Americans who are investing in Brazil, India and China to help us by investing in Americans and in this once great, industrialized nation. Peaceful China is winning the new world war through their economic growth and our economic decay. No, this is not a recession. Unless we produce products that are tangible and real we will never get to increase, grow and compete in the global arena. In the past two years, since we proposed 17 New Product Areas for innovation in our nation, China and India have made more progress in many of them while the USA lags far behind. We also do not lead in any of them, yet. So get your communities awake and do not be fooled. Jobs will not come back magically when the so-called recession is over. It will never be over. Wake-up. Build Products That Create Jobs through our Community Resurgence Plan. (Visit www.BuildProductsCreateJobs.com )
 
And then . . .
 
Read President Eisenhower’s powerful speech on the threat of the Military-Industrial Complex and his economic analysis of the costs of the cold war to the USA in human terms. See how he and President Roosevelt share a common vision and common values. No political sideshow as two giants came to the end of their outstanding lives of service urging us all to assure the strength of our nation that once was and must be again.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
The Economic Bill of Rights
Excerpt from 11 January 1944 message to Congress on the State of the Union
 
It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.
 
This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.
 
As our nation has grown in size and stature, however as our industrial economy expanded these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness.
 
We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. Necessitous men are not free men. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
 
In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all regardless of station, race, or creed.
 
Among these are:
The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a decent home;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education.
 
All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
 
America’s own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for our citizens.
