Daniel Pink stated in the excerpt that he believes American should continue to control the stakes in the global economy. He stated that they must evolve to compete with global competitors and dominate. Throughout the agricultural, industrial, informative, and conceptual age we moved from a economy “built on peoples backs, to an economy built from peoples left brains” When people didn’t have to worry about anything but working it wasn’t very complicated. As North America, Western Europe, Australia, and Japan are evolving right brained thinkers are gaining social and economic primacy. Now in the conceptual age both left and right brain must work together, to create an entire new mindset IN order to truly develop this mindset, a high touch high concept outlook must be established. In order to implement this mindset and style, they must develop six skills including design, story, sympathy, empathy, play, and meaning. Once this mindset is developed, Americans will be able to continue dominating the global market and strengthen the global economy in regards to its global competitors.
