Great Expectations

The current issue of Capital Thinking Magazine focuses on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. But where to start? Within days of the act's passage, the news media was flooded with prognostications and Patton Boggs itself had already posted a 121-page document, aptly title "No Small Change," which explored the package's every nook and cranny. Breaking new ground on this topic was a challenge. But Patton Boggs partner Ed Newberry set the direction when he noted that the real impact of this act would only begin to be felt once the money was allocated, the projects underway, and the targeted groups and industries were transformed. So that's our focus, evident on every page of this issue: the transformation of industries, of business, of opportunity - for both America and the world. Will it work? We're betting on it.
