The world is on the verge of another industrial revolution, driven by knowledge this time, not the steam engine or electricity, according to noted MIT economist Lester C. Thurow. In his book, Building Wealth: The New Rules for Individuals, Companies and Nations, Thurow writes that "Knowledge is the new basis for wealth. This has never before been true. In the past, when capitalists talked about their wealth, they were talking about their ownership of plant and equipment or natural resources. In the future when capitalists talk about their wealth, they will be talking about their control of knowledge." This means that the Bill Gateses of the world will be on top, not the Rockefellers, Carnegies, or Morgans.

To ready themselves for this new economy, companies and nations need to build what Thurow calls a "wealth pyramid," using building blocks such as a solid social organization, entrepreneurial skills, and education that encourages creativity and curiosity. The United States is better positioned than Europe or Japan to do well in the new economy, Thurow contends, but he warns of weaknesses even here. He puts companies like Intel on top in the knowledge-based global economy and places a question mark next to firms like Wal-Mart. Will the traditional retailer fall to the onslaught of lower-priced Internet competitors, or will it survive because people's herding instincts make them still want to drive to a Wal-Mart store? Bulding Wealth is a worthwhile read for anyone concerned about the wealth of nations and individuals, by the author of such economic bestsellers as Head to Head and The Zero Sum Society. --Dan Ring

Book Description

As we stand on the brink of the new millennium, MIT economist and New York Times bestselling author Lester Thurow addresses the critical issue of wealth creation. The result is an essential road map for how individuals, companies, and nations can and must build wealth in a knowledge-based global economy. What skills are needed to succeed in this new economy? What new rules must apply to the creation and protection of new ideas?How can marketable wealth be rising at ever-faster rates while productivity growth is slowing? How can nations create a social system where the entrepreneurial spirit can flourish without creating income and wealth inequalities that threaten the system? Professor Thurow addresses these questions and, finally, turns his attention to the three major economic sectors of the world: America, East Asia, and Europe. He provides a trenchant analysis of each as a significant competitor in the coming decades, and predicts the likely outcome of the complex forces that are presently shaping global society.

How can one be wrong so much, and yet be successful?.......2004-06-08

It is so sad how wrong someone can be proven over and over again and still, he/she is rewarded, called a genius and is allowed to teach our youth. Here is a quote from the author: "Can economic command significantly... accelerate the growth process? The remarkable performance of the Soviet Union suggests that it can... Today the Soviet Union is a country whose economic achievements bear comparison with those of the United States." This was in 1989, just shortly before the Societ Union collapsed. Unfortunately, being this wrong in economics gives one awards and allows you to teach college students while being described a genius. Sad. Mr. Thurow may be a 'genius', but geniuses can be wrong too.

A Wealth of Knowledge! Must Have For The 21st Century!.......2003-08-26

Heh, a reviewer claimed that the book is out dated, and reffered to the media hyped "technology meltdown" as a reason to give up home in technology and the building of wealth through intellect. We are now 2 years into the 21st century (3 years if you think it started in the year 2000), the markets are readjusting, and technology is abounding. The "internet bubble" or "Dot Com Crash" was a cataclysm of investors and venture capitalists, smart and stupid, who got too greedy, and forgot the fundamentals of business, internet or no internet. The markets will ALWAYS naturally receed and recess after "bubbles", which is what happened. Technology, however, did and has not receeded. Wealth is being built upon the foundations of intellect, and Thurow's book shows how this is to be accomplished by analyzing all other economic revolutions and what occured to make them possible. If Thurow was giving stock predictions and analysis, and "hot picks of the week" (which he absolutely does not), then i would understand the discredit which some reviewers have given him. But this is just not the case. Thurow analyzes the wealth being generated by Global corporations, and small businesses alike through the internet. He gives examples of those who have made it to the top of the wealth pyramid. He points to revolutionary ideas and systems which have fueled economies for decades. He answers questions, he asks questions. For futurists, insight, knowlegde, and analysis of history is key. If you want to be someone who is ahead in the future, and if you want to know what it will take to grow financially in the current century, "Building Wealth" gives insights into how it has been done, and what it may take. As with all good financial books, a disclaimer: This is not going to TELL you how to get RICH. It will teach you about current debates on the direction of capitalism, and what is believed will happen in 21st century buisness. Expand your mind, expand your wealth, even if it be only a wealth of mind.

How Rich Countries Get Rich.......2002-08-02

Overall, it is a fascinating read for anyone interested in economics, or how rich countries become rich. Lots of good facts which reflect on the competitive, and opportunistic capitalist paradigm we currently live in.

1) There has been significant change in the economic landscape, and that change continues to accelerate. Before the industrial revolution, 98% of the world's population had income only from farming. Now less than 2% are farmers.

2) The world is increasing a global market. Coca Cola gets 80% of its revenues from outside the United States.

3) The gap in wealth continues to widen.
- Bill Gates market value is the same as the poorest 110,000,000 Americans.
- In the United States, the average CEO pay is 212x the average worker.
- The top 1% of people in the US own 40% of the total wealth.
- Africa GDP is the same as it was in 1965. Has not changed in 35 years.

4) We are all busier. With the invention of electricity, the average hours of sleep dropped from 9 hours to 7 hours a day.

5) Old companies must destroy themselves (re-invent themselves) in order to stay competitive and grow. Also, individuals must constantly change and grow to remain competitive. If not, they will fall behind.

6) Capitalism is a tough game. The number of businesses failing (88% a year) is almost as many as new business are formed. Wealth is constantly being transferred from one group ~ to another.

7) There are many basic ingredients to create wealth. Some are cultural (like entreprenuership), some are created and enforced by the government (intellectual property, law and order, infrastructure), some are learned by the individual (skills, knowledge)

8) Each country, and region has its strengths and weakness. In order to build wealth for the future, each country must act differently:

- Japan: Clean up the banks, bring in professional management, restore government credibility, and create internal growth. Japan is too big to play the export game anymore.
- US: Break the two-tier society (rich and very poor) by improving education for more skilled workers, and investing more in infrastructure
- Europe: Encourage entrepreneurs and corporate flexibility

9) Wealth is created when there is a disequillibrium (imbalance) in technology, or society. When there is change, there is opportunity ~ because wealth is being transferred.

10) Know your weakness and go where that weakness is not important.

Examining the role of the Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest commercial bank, in the Nazi dictatorship, Harold James asks how the bank accommodated itself to a transition from democracy and a market economy to dictatorship and a planned economy.
