George P. Shultz’ storied career in government, academia,
and business includes four US cabinet posts; appointments at the University of
Chicago, MIT, and Stanford; and the presidency of Bechtel Corp.
Now 92, the
economist is the author of the new book, Issues on My Mind: Strategies for theFuture, a guide to policymakers on how to govern more effectively in a wide
range of areas.
In an interview with Stanford Business, Shultz
discussed technology, U.S. relations with Russia and China, the environment,
and how the United States can get its house in order.
