Race for IQs

This has made knowledge so much more valuable for individuals, and helped transform the global power game from one that was mainly about the race for ICBMs into one that is more about a race for IQs. The more knowledge workers your country has who are able to author their own content and innovations in digital form, the more productive your economy and, therefore, the more powerful your country.
