At 250 years old, the United States remains the world’s most competitive economy—generating 26% of global GDP and home to 59 of the top 100 global firms. However, history shows that competitiveness is not a static achievement, but a series of evolutions.
In a new MGI report, "At 250, sustaining America’s competitive edge," we explore how the US has successfully navigated four distinct chapters: agricultural, industrial, scientific, and digital. As we the nation stands at the precipice of a fifth chapter, the challenge is clear: can the US adapt its economic model once again to meet the demands of a rapidly changing global landscape?
The prize for a successful transition is significant: continued growth, enhanced national security, and expanded economic opportunity for everyone. mck.co/America250
