In this timely and urgent book, Rohatyn re-creates some of the most dramatic events in our history to show how strong and imaginative political leadership built America and demonstrates that such leadership is essential today to reverse the catastrophic degeneration of America's infrastructure, bridges, tunnels, roads and rails, flood levees and gates. Readers of David McCullough and Stephen Ambrose will revel in his narrative. Although the private sector has been the mainstay of America's economy, Felix Rohatyn argues the country could not have grown into its full destiny without the vision and determination of political leaders who imagined the future and acted to achieve it.

He begins with the Louisiana Purchase by Thomas Jefferson in 1805, which doubled the size of the country, and the construction of the Erie Canal in 1817-1825, which opened a water route to the West. The chartering of the Trans-Continental railroad, the Land Grant Colleges, and the Homestead Act in 1863, led by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, together opened the continent. The Panama Canal, which joined the east and West coasts by sea, was driven by Theodore Roosevelt. FDR's Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Eisenhower's Interstate Highway program modernized America, and the GI Bill of rights, which came after World War II, remains the greatest investment in intellectual capital and housing in our history.

Rohatyn describes these enterprises as examples of the imagination and decisive leadership that the country is in desperate need of, and, in a final chapter, he predicts the multiple benefits of similarly bold undertakings to secure our nation's future and offers a blueprint for setting priorities and financing them.

Beautiful set of grinders

Very nice set of salt and pepper grinders. They work perfectly. A charge lasts a long time on them. Very easy to use them without having to use a lot of pressure on the buttons. I love the looks, very stylish. You won't regret buying these grinders.

Great salt and pepper grinders!
Size: 2 Pack (95ml), Color: Black - Storage Base, Size: 2 Pack (95ml), Color: Black - Storage Base
These salt and pepper grinders are great! They are rechargeable and grind at the push of a button. So easy!! They look expensive and hold a lot of salt and peppercorns! I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much from these plastic grinders but I love them! The design is perfect, functionality is great and I don't even notice they are plastic material! If you haven't tried electric grinders, try these!

Great rechargeable electric salt and pepper grinders with a base.
Size: 2 Pack (95ml), Color: Black - Storage Base
Love these grinders. You can adjust the size of the grind by rotating the base. There is an arrow on the clear portion of the grinder and size dots on the base so you can quickly see if you are making the grind large or smaller. I love the base that it comes with. This keeps my counters clean. The easy to use push button operation makes grinding salt and pepper so nice. No more straining or tired hands when manually using a grinder. These grinders are also super easy to recharge. Simply plug them in to a USB outlet. They come with charging cables that are long enough to use easily. I liked mine so much, I purchased another set and gave them to my son as a gift. He loves them too and uses them all the time. These are sturdy, well made, and easy to use. Great for yourself or as a gift, and they look great on the kitchen counter or dining table.
