Building wealth the new rules for individuals, companies, and nations in a knowledge-based economy
No full text"As we stand on the brink of the new millennium, MIT economist 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." "In the final chapters, Professor Thurow turns his attention to the three current 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."--BOOK JACKET
Medicine versus Economics
No full textThurow maintains that current health care cost containment efforts
will lead to an unequal three-tiered system of care financed by prospective
payments from government for basic care of indigents, by payments from
employers for more care for the majority, and by a free market limited only by
what individuals are willing to pay. He proposes an alternative method of
cost containment in which a physician's practice would be based on employing a
treatment only when there is a strong probability of its improving a patient's
condition and eschewing new procedures until they have been demonstrated to
work well. (KIE abstract
