We don't have any easy answers, but we're hoping to hear from readers with ideas about how to return the U.S. economy to health. The person who submits the best essay on the topic What Will Save America will receive not only a scholarship to the Hidden Pivot seminar, but also unlimited access to post-graduate tutorial sessions held each week during market hours. The value of this package is $1,150, and just two days into the competition we've received no fewer than four submissions, including one today that argues that Americans need, more than anything else, to get serious about diet and exercise. Essays should be 750 words or less and must be received at this e-mail address by no later than July 15. For details about the Hidden Pivot seminar and comments from those who have taken it, click here. Our own idea about how to save America is to become a global leader in energy. A solution that works for the whole world would be a triumph for Yankee know-how on a par with the invention of the automobile assembly line. To stimulate thought on this topic and others, we will be presenting occasional guest commentaries by people with backgrounds in science and engineering. Economists need not apply. In the meantime, we welcome any contributions at the e-mail address linked above. We'll print the best of them once the competition has concluded next month.
