According to Jennifer Bouani, author of Tyler and His Solve-a-matic Machine on amazon.com. "In today's world of globalization it is more important for American kids to be introduced and exposed early on to business concepts . Americans have built a great nation on patriotism, innovation, and entrepreneurship. While our economy is growing, so are other economies of the world, one thing that we have in common, is that more countries are embracing the concept of capitalism and they are becoming very successful at it and at a fast rate.
Look at China for example, they are abandoning communism and turning to capitalism. While there are still major issues that the Chinese government needs to address, such as ownership rights, democratic elections, and labor relations. The majority of Chinese believe that free market economy is the main key to their country's future growth.
According to a recent poll and to the University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitude. France is the only country among 20 surveyed where those who don't have faith in the free market outnumber those who do. Only 36% of those polled in France agreed with the proposition that the free market is the "best system on which to base the future of the world"compared with 71% in the U.S., 66% in Britain and 65% in Germany. In nominally communist China, 74% said they favored the free market.
The future of America is in not only in our hands, but more importantly in the hands of our kids. I believe that if we introduce and reinforce the concepts of entrepreneurship and capitalism early to them, then we will continue to ensure that America will continue to still be the world's leader. Jennifer Bouani is the author of Tyler and His Solve-a-matic machine, the story in the book teaches kids ages 9-12 how to be entrepreneurs.
