We are using 19th or 20th century glasses to look at 21st century problems

Biggest impact on Asia: Globalization of Knowledge
Poorer countries did not have the technology or knowledge to develop. They needed to open up.
When you open the windows, flys come in
- Inequality is a problem
- Global Warming is a global problem now
- Job loss facing push-backs, even in well-educated jobs
- moving from complicated societies to complex societies
- the old is not sustainable, economics needs to change
- it is easy for rich countries to deal with climate change, poor countries do not have the luxury
Andrew Sheng is trying to promote a future which is equal for everyone. Inequality is next to global warming a large portion of his arguments. He is of the opinion that we “are using 19th or 20th century glasses to look at 21st century problems”. Apart from climate change the large challenge is the globalization of knowledge, especially in Asia.
