Global economy is passing through a major transition. Business leaders and policymakers are at cross-roads, confused about how to move forward. This book offers clear path to achieve prosperity for one and all, through emphasis on "knowledge-driven commerce".

The remarkable aspect of this book is, it is not a "how to quickly get rich" manual. Instead, it deliberately goes in the opposite direction, beginning with the oft-proved premise that making money the easy way is a one-way street and while few prosper many others pay, and pay, and pay…in the end, the majority of people lose. Societies and nations that encourage and reward this behavior do not create better lives or wealth for their people, they only transfer it from the many to the few. Author takes the higher road and avoids the trap that snares other authors of books in this genre.

Instead of resorting to finger-pointing at the usual suspects, author carefully and thoroughly applies layers of sound reasoning to show how the Creation of Wealth is a far better choice than the Transfer of Wealth, and how this goal can be realized by deftly walking the narrow path between competing policies designed to perpetuate either mind-numbing socialism on the one hand or parasitic capitalism on the other. Extensively researched and carefully written, the ideas and recommendations put forth in this revolutionary masterpiece are the work of a lifetime and should be tightly embraced with both arms by readers everywhere.

Author successfully peels away the layers of difficult subject with the same insights, energy, enthusiasm, and determination that have earned him honors and accolades in India and in the United States. The result is a timeless book that will inspire both the academic as well as the casual reader. A must-read for everyone hoping to succeed in the 21st century!
