Out of Silicon Valley, and Looking Homeward
Topic: Society 3:41 pm EDT, May 14, 2002

"Engineers and entrepreneurs from India and China who work in Silicon Valley are quietly fueling a high-tech revolution in their native countries in ways that challenge traditional notions of a "brain drain." ... [They are] "agents of global economic change."

"The 'brain drain' from developing countries such as India and China has been transformed into a more complex, two-way process of 'brain circulation' linking Silicon Valley to select urban centers in India and China."

The precocious New America Foundation has just agreed to a deal with Basic Books to publish jointly up to 10 books a year covering public policy and current affairs. Until now, fellows at the three-year-old think tank primarily have relied on op-eds and magazine articles to express their deep thoughts.

The Hudson Institute has a bestseller on its hands -- in Japan: a new collection of essays called "The Re-Emerging Japanese Superstate in the 21st Century."

[ Originally from Jeremy. I predicted this when I was in Asia, but the locals didn't believe me at the time. ]
