This book is a bold vision and a manual for a 21st century economy. A wake-up call.
Prof. Dr. Martin R. Stuchtey, University of Innsbruck; Founder, Managing Partner, SYSTEMIQ
A very inspiring and relevant book. We live in times of scepticism, doubt, negativism and populism. But only an agenda of hope takes us further. This is an important contribution to this agenda.
Prof. Dr. Jan Peter Balkenende, Former Dutch Prime Minister
