Bloated with debt, outpaced by China, India, and other emerging markets, the U.S. has been left for dead as an economic force. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But, Daniel Gross, widely respected for his \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e coverage of the crash and the recovery, shows that much of the talk about decline is misplaced. In the wake of the crash, rather than accept the inevitability of a Japan-style lost decade, America's businesses and institutions tapped into the very strengths that built the nation's economy into the global powerhouse in the first place: speed, ingenuity, adaptability, pragmatism, entrepreneurship, and, most significantly, an ability to engage with the world. As the U.S. wallowed in self-pity, the world continued to see promise in what America has to offer--buying exports, investing in the U.S., and adapting American companies and business models as their own. Global growth, it turns out, is not a zero-sum game. These same attributes can propel the world's largest economy forward through the significant headwinds it faces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBetter, Stronger, Faster\u003c\/i\u003e is a narrative of the remarkable reconstruction and reorientation that started in March 2009, a period that Gross compares to March 1933. Both marked the start of unexpected recoveries and monumental shifts in our nation's history. As Gross explains, through stories of innovative solutions devised by policymakers, businesses, investors, and consumers, America has the potential to emerge from this period, not as the unrivaled ruler of the global economy, but as a leader and enabler of growth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Gross\u003c\/b\u003e is the economics editor and a columnist at Yahoo!
