A few years back, a seminal report came out, warning that India and China were educating thousands more innovators per year compared to the Western world and advocating the U.S. to focus more on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. While this movement has since gained in strength, the authors demonstrate that there's little evidence to support it.
They claim that great innovators like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg adopt both the Sciences (how things work) and the Arts (how people work), and in addition, they learn to think in ways that empower them to build new versions that link the two spheres. Teaching the version-building skill of Integrative Thinking, they argue, entails going beyond nostalgia about the Liberal Arts and both craze about ROOT. The essential goal of modern instruction has to be the construction of an 'integrative ability', and the country that assembles it first and greatest will enjoy the abundance gains.
