Making Ministers One of Us

March 2, 2015 | Issue 620 Making Ministers One of Us by Jonathan Ortmans Amid all the political angst among nations on the front pages of our newspapers, economic policymaking is enjoying a peaceful period. Ahead of this year's Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Milan, we look at some of the efforts among governments to listen and learn in a mutual effort to grow economies. This Week in Entrepreneurship Policy: The 2015 Economic Report of the President by Mark Marich Jason Furman, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, presents The Economic Report of the President before the Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday. And after all the noise last week about net neutrality, the FCC's FY 2016 budget is the topic of conversation for the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Meanwhile, Congressman Chabot and the House Small Business Committee explore the "State of Small Business and Entrepreneurship" and ways to improve capital access programs of the SBA.
