We know what a 21st century nation needs.
A knowledge-based economy. A strong civic society. A confident place in the world.
Do that and a nation masters the future. Fail and it is the future’s victim.

The future is people.

The liberation of human potential not just as workers but as citizens.
Not power to the people but power to each person to make the most of what is within them.
People are born with talent and everywhere it is in chains.
