Description
In this work, the author explains who the big economic winners and losers will be in the future, and provides a provocative roadmap to the new civilization arising out of the sweeping shifts in the world economy. Roaming the globe, he reveals - through many vivid examples of individuals and institutions - that the new determinants for success are, surprisingly, national diversity and a "mongrel" sense of self. Zachary's thesis isn't just about countries, but about individuals too, and the book is packed with personal stories. Vital people and vital nations embrace multiculturalism and win; those who do not are doomed to stagnation or worse. The author describes how a lack of diversity in Japan has resulted in stagnation, with no major corporation or public figure promoting the goal of a multicultural nation. In contrast, he introduces individuals who help their nations succeed by - paradoxically - thinking less and less of themselves in purely national terms. And he shows why cities like London will flourish and thrive, and countries like the US and Ireland will have a tremendous advantage. - from Amzon
