| Summary |
"Living on Thin Air is about how we can create an environment that is both innovative and inclusive. Our societies should be organized around the creation of knowledge capital and social capital, rather than being dominated by the power of financial capital. Drawing on research in California, Japan, Germany and the Far East, Charles Leadbeater shows how we can create communities of competition, in which we collaborate to compete in the global economy."--BOOK JACKET |
