Critical Acclaim
‘International competition for the most skilled engineering and science talent has been a persistent undercurrent of world capitalism since at least the Renaissance. It contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union and the frustration of Margaret Thatcher’s economic agenda for Britain. Once Asia was an exporter of scientific talent; now that Asia has become an importer too, the international stakes have gone way up. As this interesting and timely collection makes clear, what was once prudent economic policy has now become imperative for countries that hope to stand in the forefront of economic development.’
