WASHINGTON-Government needs to move faster to keep up with the New Economy, said many members of the New Economy Task Force of the Progressive Policy Institute.
For example, Rep. Cal Dooley (D-Calif.) commented, “Government has to be based on speed just as industry is based on speed … We cannot have a regulatory apparatus that is slow.”
The task force met last week to release 10 Rules of the Road for the New Economy. The pamphlet, “Rules for the Road: Governing Principles for the New Economy,” is a follow-up document to “The New Economy Index: Understanding America’s Economic Transportation,” which was released last November.
The concept that government needs to move faster actually encompasses two of the 10 rules, demanding high-performance government and replacing bureaucracies with networks.
