Equipped with one big idea, thought leaders focus their energies on TED talks rather than highbrow periodicals.

The problem is that leaders don't know how to create jobs, especially in America. What they should do is recognize that the world is in a war for jobs. It seems that leadership has lost the will to win, especially in America, but this is a competition for our lives.
