The United States and New York confront challenges of epochal dimensions that are remaking our world. They are driven by new technologies and the dynamics of globalization. They have been accelerated by the profound changes to prevailing economic, social and political orders, and the shifts in wealth, influence and power within and among nations. Our future in the nation and New York will be determined by our ability to understand and act creatively and fearlessly upon these historic challenges, and to seize the opportunities they offer.
