In your article in TIME of June 13, yo...INNOVATION<br /><br />In your article in TIME of June 13, you said that there is no good fix on innovation and we know it only when we see it.<br /><br />While we discuss innovation, the most common field is considered to be that of ‘technology’. But I think there is another field of innovation as well for America , and that is the field of ‘services’ commensurate with American capacity and the needs of the future world. This can be called as the ‘services for provision of governance’. The idea can, admittedly, be termed too wild or an overestimation of American capabilities, yet I am writing it to you.<br /><br />The population of this world is now more than six billion, and is on the rise. Majority of this population lives in under developed countries. These countries are under developed, primarily, because they suffer from ‘bad governance’, the main ingredients being: absence of rule of law, corruption, no freedom of speech, lack of merit etc. Resultantly, a number of people from these under developed or poorly governed countries aspire to migrate to better world, particularly to US. <br /><br />It is obviously not possible for US, or for other developed countries, to accommodate these aspirants. So, what to do?<br /><br />One possible way is that America can choose (through purchasing , leasing etc.) some places in the world for building and governing city states like, say of the size of Singapore. In these international cities, US can provide a better governance and administration, with the required security, justice, rule of law, freedom of speech etc., the components of good governance, lacking in the underdeveloped countries. US can then allow people from across the world, along with their education, skills and investment, to migrate to these city states. <br /><br />What will both sides get out of this? The migrants, a better life, and in return, the US, huge amount of taxes and increased influence.Rao Shahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441331781852015956noreply@blogger.com
