The path to Western Pennsylvania's economic resurgence lies somewhere between China's central planning and the absence of government direction that free market absolutists favor, a prominent business journalist said on Wednesday.

It was here that a group of idealistic and ambitious men and women strived to launch an industry that would not only put Kansas on the map, but change the way the world traveled. Not long after the Wright brothers' successful flight at Kitty Hawk, aviation became a burgeoning industry right here in the center of the nation.
