• You Don’t Know What You’ve Got ‘Til It’s Gone…
  Joe Fuller discusses America’s diminishing role as the policy-setter for global financial practices, in everything from law to corporate governance to accounting. For the past 20 years, the international community has broadly aligned behind American rules and policies, but today America risks losing the competitive advantage it has enjoyed as the “reserve policy” of the world. If this were to happen, the impact would be felt worldwide as standards proliferated and became more complicated to reconcile. Policymakers and business leaders must consider the possible consequences of America’s declining influence and what—if anything—can be done to reverse this process.
