America headed for new heights?

Are America's best years behind us, or are we headed for new heights? that is the question posed by PBS's "Making Sense." They feature an article by Joel Kurtzman, who writes,

In my view, the United States is about to undergo a “growth spurt,” just as China, and much of the emerging world, are slowing down.

There are four forces that explain why the United States will be entering a period of very strong growth: our creativity is ahead of all other countries; there is a renewal of manufacturing; we have enormous newly accessible supplies of energy; and we are flush with investible capital.

I hope Kurtzman is right. He makes a very convincing case here.
