520 1  "With the dismantling of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the 
       implosion of the USSR in 1991, the Cold War era has 
       ended." "Immediately, a new economic struggle begins. 
       Three economic superpowers emerge, each playing the game 
       of capitalism in a strikingly different manner. And for 
       the first time, the United States is the second largest 
       economy in the world." "As the domestic economy stagnates 
       and the deficit financing of the federal government 
       escalates, many Americans see themselves at a turning 
       point. And well they might." "In Head to Head, one of 
       America's most influential economists provides his dynamic
       assessment of the emerging economic landscape: the rules 
       of this new three-way competition; the strengths and 
       weaknesses of the players; the information we need to 
       win." "Head to Head is full of surprises; one attribute of
       the new competition is that radical new skills and radical
       new ways of thinking are vital to success. For example:" 
       "Competition and Cooperation. In the 1990s, there will be 
       no clear winners, but losers might be destroyed. The 
       ability to cooperate effectively with your direct 
       adversary will be a requisite for survival." "Resources. 
       If we are to thrive in this new environment, our whole 
       notion of essential resources must be overhauled before 
       the year 2000." "Key Industries. There are seven key 
       industries vital to the maintenance of a high standard of 
       living. How can we maintain competitiveness in those 
       industries over the coming decade and beyond?" "Education.
       Education is the most potent weapon of the new warfare. 
       How can we close the education gap?" "Teams. How can 
       Americans learn to become team players in new and 
       unfamiliar ways?"--BOOK JACKET.
