CONCLUSIONI believe we are the most innovative nation on the planet, and we still have the best research universities in the world. We are still the king of the hill in R&D in most fields. We have these comparative advantages—a strong science and technology base and a free-market economy built on a substrate of democracy and freedom. But I leave you with this paranoid thought. The enemy I fear most is complacency. We have work to do in this country. I very much look forward to hearing your thoughts and what you can learn and teach us all about the real, evolving nature of globalization.
