The biggest thing the US needs is a management overhaul.

What and from which countries in particular do you think the US can learn?

Germany, Japan, and the UK.

Managers not MBAs is a good book that summarizes the problems with the current management culture.

Basically, by having a class of people who have never done the grunt work of a particular job, you ruin what the Army calls "Unit Cohesion".

Sure, Japan. Where you work 6 days a week and don't leave before the boss does, at 10pm.

The UK was no different to the US.

Maybe there are things one could learn from Japanese managers other than the work hours?
