The key (and future) just like with any business is for countries tniche down to what they are good at and compete based on intrinsic advantages. In North America we have excellent higher education, the world hub for financial/capital services (New York), a stable social structure, good infrastructure and the world hub in tech (San Fran). Smart people will learn how to leverage these assets to create truly competitive and job creating businesses. Typed on iPhone
