Abstract:

Building a governance framework for securing the global economy must be a collaborative venture seen as an imperative by its users who must voluntarily participate.
Building this framework will take years and strong leadership. The U.S. has the most at risk because it is a key beneficiary of the global economy, so the President should guide the development and sustainment of this international governance framework.
