Governance
CED believes that our policymakers must exercise strong leadership if our nation is to move quickly back into step with the pace of our changing world. As of now, stalemate is the leader, and it will remain so unless the political and policymaking system changes.

Throughout its 66-year history, CED has sought to identify and advance policies that increase economic growth and opportunity for all Americans. Our vision is vision, and foresight. We helped create the Marshall Plan six decades ago, and in a very real sense, we need that same spirit today—a "Marshall Plan for America." We believe that it is our duty to stimulate and contribute to a constructive national discussion of how we can put our country, both actually and in the collective perception, on the right track again.
