Reviews
Thank you for your speech of encouragement and your help to alleviate inequality and poverty throughout Africa. President Mandella especially appreciated being with your group.
Blaise Judja-Soto President, The Nelson Mandela Foundation, Capetown, South Africa
Your presentation provoked more thoughts and emotions than I have the comprehension or typing skills to properly convey. Your plain English and true to life illustration of economic cause and effect was tremendous.
Frank Stone Senior Vice President, Smith Barney
I was deeply moved by your Tribute to America. Listening to your thoughts on the worldwide movement to titles and property rights was encouraging.

Speech Topics
- America’s Economic Future: The Six Unstoppable Trends
Dr. Asmus identifies the "Six Unstoppable Trends" that are impacting America’s business and its economy. Some results of these powerful trends are: a strong stock market, low unemployment, low inflation, high labor productivity, record economic growth, and consumer net worth at all-time highs. Currently, 75 million Baby Boomers are in the high spending category and most productive stages of their lives. The Boom continues. Companies of the 21st century must be positioned to capitalize on these trends. Dr. Asmus’ presents his trends to audiences across America in an engaging and entertaining manner.
- Globalization: International Prosperity and its Impact on America
Dr. Asmus’ presentation on International Economics stems from a lifetime of study and experience. His clear presentation of the why, where, and therefore of globalization’s considerable benefits and sometimes painful costs has informed business people throughout the world. His book, Crossroads: The Great American Experiment, has been used in hundreds of university classrooms for international trade and comparative economics. As a Senior Economist with the National Center for Policy Analysis, Dr. Asmus has helped monitor 160 countries over a period of 15 years on ten measurable criteria of economic freedom. Dr. Asmus is currently working with national leaders to transform Romania from communism towards freedom and prosperity.
- Freedom: Still America’s Best Investment
The most vital force of our country has been freedom. Freedom unleashes more energy and genius than any alternative. America, the biggest island of freedom in the world, has always been the place people run to when, in hope or hopelessness, they are running from somewhere else. When freedom proceeds, prosperity follows. When freedom leads, the mutually beneficial exchange of capitalism moves nations forward. Dr. Asmus makes a compelling case for why America produces nearly a third of the world’s wealth, most of the world’s Nobel Laureates and a majority of the world’s inventions, with less than 5 percent of the world’s population.
- Healing Health Care in America
How much would you buy if you went shopping with someone else’s credit card? Yet, this is how today’s health care system works. We are spending everyone’s money except our own. Is it sustainable? No. Can we do something about it? Yes. Health Savings Accounts create incentives for a competitive health care system. Reforming Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements would allow hospitals to overcome the governmental mandate of free health care, currently at $30 billion annually. Tort reform and limitations on medical liability are necessary to slow down the practice of defensive medicine and widespread use of electronic medical record keeping is imperative for cost and quality control. Dr. Asmus’ presentation offers real world solutions to run-away health care costs.
