Who will be rich and who will be poor in
the future?
The countries which would be poor in the
future
Our countries which only rely on
commodities like food
Food is getting cheaper and cheaper every year
But intellectual capital, the
power of the mind
is becoming more and more precious
more and more expensive...
and that's fine.
Colombia is at a crossroads. Colombia can lead into the future
but only if it understands the relationship between commodity capital and intellectual capital.
So for Colombia, what is the lesson?
First:
education
We must educate people for the future. The future is going to be
more scientific, not less scientific.
First, education for Colombia.
Second, we must allow entrepreneurs, innovators, scientists
engineers, businessmen to
flourish in the future, to create new industries
new silicon valley. Innovation,
entrepreneurs to create industries
that hire more workers
That's number two. Three, the government has to get out of the way.
The response of politician is: "tax, tax, tax", "regulate, regulate, regulate". Okay?
That's not a way to create wealth. Wealth
has to be encouraged
Wealth has have a lunch. We have to
have less regulation, no more regulation
to allow companies to flourish to create
jobs
because that's where the jobs of the future are going to come from.
And forth, forth. The nature of the jobs will change.
Less farming and more and more
intellectual capital.
The capital of the mind. We must have both
We have to have food, metals, commodities, oil... but we also have to liberate ourselves
with the power of the mind 
because capitalism itself is changing
from commodity capital to intellectual
capital.
