\nTo many, it seems as though America has failed to live up to its potential over the past several decades, with far less to show for its innovative efforts than one might have expected a half century ago. But the future is brimming with possibilities, and, at the very least, the COVID-19 pandemic has signaled that \u201cIt\u2019s time to build,\u201d as one observer recently put it. To explore why America has failed to \u201cbuild\u201d in the past \u2014 and how it may re-prioritize innovation going forward \u2014 I\u2019m speaking today with Eli Dourado.
