Globalization by private competition

Two precepts will guide our work.
1. No sector of the US economy operates in isolation from the global economy. Every worker & every employer faces the challenges of competition from the world’s farthest reaches. Our job will be to ensure that those challenges are turned into opportunities.
2. Our nation’s greatest export is its democratic principles. Those principles best take hold in a world of unshackled economic opportunity. We want to foster a world of private, not government, competition.
