Fresh ideas are the best tools we
have for solving our toughest challenges – that's the hope of audacity. This
slideshow explores several examples of daring ideas from the past that worked.
They prove that audacious doesn't equal impossible. All it takes is the will,

End War in
Western Europe
Western Europeans had fought over
the same ground for thousands of years. After World War II, Secretary of State
George Marshall wanted to break that endless cycle. The Marshall Plan doled out
$13 billion—5% of U.S. GDP—to 16 nations to reindustrialize, recapitalize, and
create mutual dependence through international trade. In four years European
economies revived, and peace has persisted among all 16 nations to this day.
