Coming Growth Strategy: Exporting

CNBC economic commentator Lawrence Kudlow now has a blog. He predicts that the U.S. will be exporting more over the next decade:
"As for the trade deficit, the U.S. grows faster than its biggest customers. So we import more than we export. However, exports are rising at a 13 percent pace; a great sign of economic health. Imports are rising even more by 17 percent. We are selling goods and services to China at a 37 percent rate. But the volumes are too small to dent the trade gap. This will change over the next decade."
Laurel Delaney of GlobeTrade.com would like for a large chunk of those exports to be by U.S. small businesses.



She's just published a ChangeThis manifesto about small businesses going global. The manifesto refers to our earlier interview of Laurel on the subject of globalization.
