Inhaltsangabe

Gun violence. Bloated debt. Inadequate pensions. Unaffordable healthcare. Plastic waste. Outdated education.

These seemingly intractable American problems have already been solved—just not in the United States.

What if America's biggest challenges had already been overcome elsewhere in the world?
What if the U.S. government embraced solutions successfully implemented by smaller, successful nations?
Imagine a country thriving in healthcare, social security, public finances, education, and ecology—all at once.

R. James Breiding, a Swiss-American political author and former research fellow at Harvard's School for International Development, takes you on a whistle-stop tour of 11 small nations at the forefront of tackling some of the world's greatest problems.
As founder of the international think tank S8nations, Breiding offers a fresh and straightforward perspective on global problem-solving.

In "What Goliath Can Learn from David," discover:

• Denmark's race to net-zero emissions
• Ireland's path out of political gridlock
• Finland's solution to education's Gordian Knot
• Switzerland's answer to America's debt crisis
• Why Sweden is the best place to be a working woman
• New Zealand's war on unnecessary plastic packaging

America doesn't need more lofty declarations, empty political promises, or theoretical solutions.

It's time to set aside American pride, peek over our garden hedge, and learn from the world's most innovative problem-solvers.
