The world is changing – from an economic perspective this has massive impact for billions of people. In this talk the basic magnitude of the change is covered and put into context using examples of Johan Guttenberg through to General Chuck Yeager.

The talk touches on the economic story of India, China, Russia and the Middle East such as the massive projects in Dubai and Saudi Arabia – new universities, schools, roads and more. The sub prime meltdown and global economic situation was in turmoil at the time of this conference with Senators Barak Obama and John McCain in their race for the Presidency.

The keynote was delivered in Boston.
