The economic crisis leaves many people wondering if the United States and, specifically, California, will be poised to lead the world in the 21st century. What kinds of opportunities arise out of dire economic times? Will California be the place to do business in the 21st century? What needs to be done to ensure its success? Campbell breaks down the economic imperatives of the state and nation.
