20 year plan

By: Joseph27 (Registered ) on 25-10-2007 07:08

Thanks for the input Alan, wouldn't it be great to look at a 20 year plan to get this nation focused. You are right though - everything is thought of in terms of fastest path to ROI - that is simply what happens when the market dominates.  
 
Inasmuch as I am market orientated - I do believe that there is an essential role for government is constructing bariers within which business can build collectively towards tomorrow. If a government wants the best universities and research facilities - it can give businesses tax advantages that make such investments beneficial to the bottom line.  
 
This doesn't seem possible though in the current climate - we seem to have constructed a society that is simply focused on todays acquisitions whilst our attention span has shortened to take in little more than headlines.  
 
So how do we get back from here to help construct a society that actually has a longer term vision?
