Thinking About the Future
George P. Shultz
In
a rich and varied career, George P. Shultz has aided presidents,
confronted national and international crises, and argued passionately
that the United States has a vital stake in promoting democratic values
and institutions. In speeches, articles, congressional testimony, and
conversations with world leaders, he has helped shape policy and public
opinion on topics ranging from technology and terrorism to drugs and
climate change. The result is a body of work that has influenced the
decisions of nations and leaders, as well as the lives of ordinary
people. In Thinking About the Future,
Shultz has collected and revisited key writings, applying his past
thinking to America's most pressing contemporary problems. Each chapter
includes new commentary from the author, providing context, color, and
behind-the-scenes glimpses of how decisions are made in the halls of
power. In the more than half a century since Shultz entered public life,
the world has changed dramatically. But he remains guided by the belief
that "you can learn about the future—or at least relate to it—by
studying the past and identifying principles that have continuing
application to our lives and our world."
