1. Policymakers need to distinguish between countries’ “GBU” policies.
2. Core goal of global economic policy should be to encourage nations to
boost innovation and domestic productivity; not export-led growth.
3. Revamp the mission/operating structure of intl. organizations.
 Rethink foreign aid strategies.
4. Create a gold-standard Trans-Atlantic Trade Partnership (TAP)
5. Create a Global Science and Innovation Foundation (GSIF)
 Support international collaborative research.
