This Friday, I will be joined by the Schiller Institute's Marcia Merry Baker and Jason Ross, both of whom recently returned from an extraordinary conference held in Kabul, Afghanistan titled, “Operation Ibn Sina: The Coming Afghan Economic Miracle.” The conference, which brought together over 500 people including participation by officials from the ministries of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, was comprised of day-long workshops in eight basic areas: agriculture and water, health, energy, industry and labor, credit and national banking, transportation, education, and culture.

We will discuss the forward-looking approach of this war-ravaged nation as compared to the lack of vision exhibited by the non-leadership of the United States today.  Given the horrific breakdown of the U.S. economy, there is ample opportunity to employ the latent talents of our people to develop our nation.  Let's start thinking that way!
