Innovation Gains Momentum as a Guiding Principle

Innovation and America ’s need to "win the future" were major themes of President Obama’s State of The Union address this past Thursday. President Obama suggested that America could “out-innovate” the rest of the world by increasing U.S. investment in research and development. But, what exactly does that mean? How far along are Americans in the “ideas race” already, and how much further does the United States need to go?

In response to the State of the Union address, Ideas Economy, as part of the prestigious The Economist has created a unique and quirky video that combines charts and graphs to add important context to President Obama's speech.
