Abstract | Achieving prosperity for all Americans could not be more urgent. Although the United States remains the most prosperous nation on earth, millions of citizens are losing faith in the American dream of upward mobility, and in American-style capitalism itself. This crisis of confidence has widened the divide afflicting American politics and cries out for reasoned solutions in the nation's interest to provide prosperity for all Americans and make capitalism sustainable for generations to come. The Committee for Economic Development (CED), the public policy center of The Conference Board, has released a series of 2021 Solutions Briefs on Sustaining Capitalism. This series is focused on nonpartisan reasoned solutions in the nation's interest to the central challenges we face in order to provide prosperity for all Americans. This Sustaining Capitalism Solutions Brief presents a statement on broadband access. With most Americans dependent on reliable, high-quality, high-speed internet services to work, train, consult with doctors, or attend school from home, the COVID-19 pandemic vividly demonstrates that affordability and access barriers leave too many families behind. As America's leaders in business and policy work toward a postpandemic economic recovery that delivers increasing prosperity for American families and preserves our nation's economic leadership, they must also build toward a vision of a fully wired nation that meets the internet needs of all its citizens.
