- Preface: why we have written this book -- Are Americans still capable of bold action and common purpose? -- Is it too late to restore American ambition? -- What's so bad about good government? -- Have we lost contact with our democracy? -- Can we prosper in the twenty-first century without classroom excellence? -- Don't we want the best and brightest to come and stay? -- What can America learn from Ireland? -- Do we still care about jobs and making things? -- Have we lost our edge for innovation? -- Will our states be part of the solution? -- Can our cities show the way forward? -- Are we ready for leadership that represents the best of us?
