I plan to post interesting quotes and link here as I come across them.
"... India is a country with virtually no natural resources that got very good at doing one thing- mining the brains of its own people by educating a
relatively large slice of its elites in the sciences, engineering,and medicine. " - "The World is flat, Friedman, Thomas; p. 104.
I don't really agree with the part that India is not rich in natural resources. Apart from that the idea is interesting.
