This work examines the relationships among engineering leadership, technological change, and economic development. Specifically, it reviews the role and contribution of engineers--through their education and work--in the pursuit of excellence and effectiveness in our increasingly pervasive technological development. The relationship between the rate of technological development, technological diffusion, and success in its application, and the role or position of engineers in industry and government is interdependent. Frankel concludes that while the United States continues its dominance in basic scientific research and technology development, the growing lag in developing and applying technology in a timely and effective manner is largely a result of the lack of engineers in senior decisionmaking positions in industry and government.This work will be of interest to practicing engineers, practicing managers, and scholars and students of economics and technology development.

Analyzes the development and effectiveness of United States shipping policy and regulation, with the purpose of providing a framework for future policy development.

Saving America from Itself is designed to arouse interest in reversing the many negative trends America has suffered since it reached a summit in global leadership, wealth, justice, culture, and influence in the world after World War II. It had not only become the champion of Western democracies and free market economies, but also the world leader in science, technology, health care, and many areas of culture. Yet after all these successes, America has now slid into a trance of self-delusion, often misplaced sense of grandeur and over-indulgence. A change can only come from within and hopefully will.

This book is a critical review of the problems that caused America''s decline in economic, strategic, and cultural leadership.How American Salesmanship and MarketingDoomed Its Economy and Leadership RoleBy Encouraging Unfettered Consumption and Debt while Undermining Growth and Social Justice
