In the Schirach Report Paolo von Schirach monitors and analyzes major global trends  –with special focus on the changing role of the United States of America in world affairs in a new historic context characterized by the relative decline of Europe and by the rise of Asia.

The Schirach Report examines the challenges confronting America and other mature Western societies: cost of government services, competitiveness issues, innovation, education, immigration energy and more. 

The Schirach Report focuses also on the correlation between ideas and policies, since ideas and ideologies, new and old, stride to provide guidance to societies affected by transformative processes unprecedented in scale and speed.

    America in the position and status of Britain when Rothschild emerged to define its fate in the form of its prime minister during the 1800′s has broad implications for the U.S., a nation overwhelmed by immigration issues and variable prospectives. The melting pot as a well has not been the common view as a negative impact, but could become its greatest vulnerability and challenge to weather the storms of competing interests, just as it has been for so many other nations including Britain.
