Competing on technology to build global wealth

Today’s global war is one of wealth, rather than military, and what can help generate wealth can be a focus on, among other things, technologies, suggests Handel Jones in ‘ChinAmerica: The uneasy partnership that will change the world’ (www.tatamcgrawhill.com).

It is, consequently, important to regard these companies as part of the solution for building wealth.”
