| |  | | | In Brief
Ohmae contends " that the nation state and the global economy cannot comfortably coexist. National boundaries are too porous, he argues, to controlthe flows of communication corporations, customers, capital, and currencies, and most national governments are too focused on distributing wealth to be effective in creating it. Ohmae sees 'region states'--natural economic zones of 5 to 20 million affluent residents, such as Hong Kong and contiguous areas of China, San Diego, and Tijuana of Silicon Valley--stepping into this vacuum, building links with the global economy independent of the nations that theoretically control them." (Booklist) Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Argues that not only have nation states (NS) lost their ability to control exchange rates & protect their currencies, but they no longer generate real economic activity. As a result they have forfeited their role as critical participants in the global economy. Once efficient engines of wealth creation, NS today have become inefficient engines of wealth distribution, whose fates are increasingly determined by economic choices made elsewhere. Documents how affluent economic zones forming natural business units have arisen throughout the world, bringing real, concrete improvements in the quality of life. Charts & tables.
