		Consider Thurow's claim that we are living in a "period of punctuated equilibrium." Punctuated equilibrium is a term biologists use to describe a hypothetical pattern in which species emerge through occasional bursts of rapid change rather than through steady evolution.

		Perhaps Thurow is teaching by demonstrating that a good way to build wealth in the knowledge economy is to package one or two simple ideas at a time, and price it exorbitantly.

	ePier -Head to Head ~ Lester Thurow HC/DJ ~ TWC Charity Auction
		Thurow (Dean/MIT-Sloan School of Management; The Zero-Sum Solution, etc.) takes a contrarian approach in predicting that Europe, not America or Japan, could prove the biggest winner in a bloodless clash that promises to shape the 21st century.
		Thurow notes, the EC will constitute a unified market with a well-educated population of 337 million and a GNP larger than that of the US; the addition of nonmember nations, plus erstwhile Soviet republics and/or satellites, would boost the head count to 850 million.
		In the meantime, Thurow observes, corporate America"s individualist, profit-maximizing enterprises are engaged in a spirited competition with the communitarian empire-builders of Japan, and the victor will determine the rules by which the great game of capitalism is played for decades to come.

		In contrast to Russia, says Thurow, China solved the problem of moving from communism to capitalism in less than two decades.
		According to Thurow, China decided, “We’re the cheapest place to make everything.” Foreign firms flooded in, selling equipment to China, or making products there and selling them back to the developed world.
		Also, Thurow believes tales of China’s phenomenal growth are often just that — fictions sold by bureaucrats to rate a promotion.
