Gordon’s warning on the dire consequences of failing to reform America’s current education system. He wrote in his book, "Winning the Global Talent Showdown": "If the American education-to employment system is not restructured, by the year 2020 there will be 124 million highly skilled, high paying jobs but only 50 million Americans qualified to do them. If we stay on our present course, many new technologies will simply go to other countries, with dire consequences for the middle class and the entire U.S. economy."
