About the Book

The economic chaos that has created so much destruction of wealth for regular Americans is far from over. This book examines problems and possible solutions within national, international, and local realms that will help us navigate these times and set a course toward calmer waters. While some clamor for more taxes to cover our government's programs, The Next America shows how we can restructure our tax code so it positively affects all aspects of our communities: education, businesses, innovation, political transparency, environmental issues, investments, and more. Concerned citizens and economic players alike will be inspired and motivated to act to reestablish the American Dream during this transitional time. The politics of change are the responsibility of us all, we are part of the problem or the solution, the choice is ours individually. Knowing what progress is reasonable and what will have the greatest benefit to us is imperative to holding our elected officials accountable for what we all desire. Our nation needs us each to act to become informed and outspoken on how to rebuild, retool and renew America for the 21st century to benefit all of us, not just the elite few at the very top of the economic pyramid. Capitalism is still viable but we need to create a meaningful harness to make it work for everyone willing to pay their fair share of how to restructure our nation fairly for fiscal and social responsibility.
About the Author: As a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, Don Allen Holbrook is a private consultant/practitioner involved in economic development public policy, site location, business incentives and strategic destination tourism development. He is one of the most influential and recognized subject matter experts in the field of economic development and is the most published and quoted in the field. During his twenty-year career, he has worked on a wide variety of projects representing billions of dollars in capital investment and generating thousands of directly and indirectly created and/or supported jobs. Don has specialized in creating customized incentive policies, such as equity funding, specialized tax increment funding, tax abatements, workforce tax credits, specialized state legislation to increase equity and reduce operational costs to attract and finance projects, creative hybrid capital development by communities, and targeted incentives that reduce the overall cost to his clients and/or help his public sector clients close deals. Don has worked with economic organizations worldwide in developing strategic plans; core market assessment; target industry analysis; business-attraction incentives; publicly backed strategic business investments in capital formation; and permanent convertible, subordinated debt financing. He focuses on creating public-private partnerships that are built on real-world economic realities and tied to well-balanced capabilities that reward risk taken by both sectors. Don is recognized for his prowess in the economic development industry; for his pioneering of site locations and technology-based, community-profiling infrastructures; and for his work in establishing the data standards used by the International Economic Development Council. A highly respected and renowned speaker on world-class economic development projects, Don is one of the most sought-after advocates in economic development and takes his simple message to communities around the world. His wit, message, and charm have made him highly popular as a keynote speaker on local economic development strategies. He speaks frequently on the topics of "The Art of the Deal Today" and surviving and thriving in today's economic turbulence. Don has written two books: His first, The Little Black Book of Economic Development, was released in 2007 and is still the best-selling book in the economic development industry. His second book, released in 2008, is titled Who Moved My Smoke Stack?
