A "tipping point"
is the point at which a slow, reversible change
becomes irreversible, often with dramatic
consequences, which may be good or bad. Some
say that the introduction of the iPhone represents a
tipping point, arguably with good consequences.
Others point to the proliferation of sub-prime
mortgages as a tipping point because this brought on
the recent economic crisis.
CFA
assembled 33 people who work on the front
lines of business, law, government and philanthropy
to discuss potential tipping points that may have
serious consequences for the future of Free
Enterprise, jobs in America, and the prosperity and
freedom of Americans.
CFA asked them to
explain in non-partisan terms what they see through
their work that will help us all understand the
real-world impact of cultural trends, government
policies, economic drivers and global competition on
our country's future.
Their
presentations and interviews are rich with insights
and ideas. We hope you will
enjoy watching and gain a fresh understanding of key
issues in which we all have a stake, so that you can
bring your insights, creativity and leadership to
your community, state and country. (Buttons
