With falling pay and rising inequality, consistent unemployment, failing colleges, and broken locations, have America's best days and nights come and ended up? In America Needs Ability, Jamie Merisotis, a internationally recognized innovator in philanthropy, higher education, and public policy, explains why skill is needed to usher in a fresh era of technology and success and just why deliberate choices must be produced by administration, the private sector, education, and people to grow skill in America. What if you paid for education predicated on what you actually learned rather than enough time you spent in class? What if your visa application were processed just like you were an asset to your nation's growing skill pool rather than by Homeland Security? Merisotis proposes strong ideas to effectively deploy the world's most talented people - from rethinking higher education to changing immigration laws, revitalizing urban hubs, and encouraging private sector technology.
