Most importantly, it helps U.S. policymakers and stakeholders stay ahead of changing trends, so that they can navigate them from a position of strength, rather than play catch-up from a position of weakness.”” ~ Lyn Alden, Author and Founder, Lyn Alden Investment Strategy “If we judge that threats to American hegemony also represent threats to our core values, it is incumbent upon us to use every tool available to defend those values.
