Excerpt from THE GLOBAL AUCTION (Oxford University Press 2011):
"[T]he United States now confronts its biggest challenge since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, 'the new global competitiveness for talent, a phenomenon that promises to radically reshape the world in the coming decades.' Gone are the days when the economic might of nations depended on their natural resources, manufacturing excellence, military dominance, or scientific and technological prowess. [T]he competition now revolves around 'a nation's ability to mobilize, attract, and retain human creative talent. Every key dimension of economic leadership, from manufacturing excellence to scientific and technological advancement, will depend on this ability.'"(page 90)
