| Introduction | I work for Morehead State University, a small state school serving the Appalachian region of East Ky. I'm the director of a program known as the Innovation Center. We work with technology and innovation based clients to help them grow their businesses. I also moonlight as a small town lawyer doing mostly criminal law. My work and my geography has convinced me that globalization is good and is changing things at unprecedented rates but that not all groups of citizens are equally prepared for the changes. In order to foster globalization on a wider scale, the central government (i.e. the state) must reform to create a new model based on the widespread distribution of the means of opportunity. |
