1.What major forces (changes) in the economy or elsewhere over the PAST 20 years have affected the U.S. economy the most?
(Rank these forces from most to least important). List at least four major factors. They may be positive or negative in their effects.
Why do you think they are the most important? ( A paragraph or two for each would be adequate).
2. Do the same exercise as above; HOWEVER, list and rank those forces or changes that you believe will be most important for the FUTURE (NEXT TWENTY YEARS). Why do you think they will be the most important?
