This arena and the following sections address the need to alter certain old structures and ideas that are restricting the development of better pathways for this century. What greatly concerns me is our missing the opportunity to jettison the failed ideologies, political views, and administrative and economic structures established two centuries ago. The solutions I will advocate are based on tried-and-true first principles. From its application, I will suggest ideas to accelerate the innovative successes of recent decades and preserve precious capital. Unlike Richard M. Weaver’s introductory sentence in his book, Ideas Have Consequences, these suggestions and information will not focus on the dissolution of the West but rather offer ideas and pathways to realize a better future.
