The New Reform Agenda

The United States is in critical need of massive reform. The same could be said of many other nations, but my focus here is the U.S.

From one angle, reform is always needed, and typically reform surges run in generational cycles. But today is especially critical. For a host of reasons-among them the increasing complexity of society and of international relations-the spectrum of critical issues that must be addressed immediately is huge, unprecedented. They range from matters of physical infrastructure to large-scale issues of the mind, heart, and spirit.
