520 |a Juan Enriquez puts you face to face with a series of unprecedented political, ethical, economic, and financial issues, dramatically demonstrating the cascading impact of the genetic, digital, and knowledge revolutions on your life.

Wealth will be more concentrated and those with knowledge to sell, both countries and individuals, will be the winners.
