Discussion with Senator Maria Cantwell and former USTRs, Carla Hills and Susan Schwab

Published | Video Starts at 12:14

How should we be leading? So Senator Cantwell, can I start with you? Well, I just kind of outlined how much I believe in the information age as the driver. Right. We're not in the agrarian age, we're not in the industrial Age, we're in the information age. And that means innovation is going to happen faster. Information is the feeder to that system. So when we think about competitiveness, we think about what is it that the United States should be doing to stay competitive. (12:14–12:19)
