The work of nations Book

Very well written and thought provoking. I read this one twenty years ago and have never forgotten it. I do not agree with the main premise, but it made me think and that is still important. One of the early authors to note the "knowledge economy" and many of his prophecies have come to pass.
I found his discussion on education both illuminating and forethought long before it became the widely discussed subject of the last few years.

His discussion of "American" made is both very profound and spot on.

I also had much food for though on his discussion on "labor shortage" and I do agree with this assessment.

Overall, it is still a very relevant read and stands up from when it was published well. This is a great jumping off point to the study of the global economy.
