Cognitive Capitalism

Advance praise: 'Cognitive Capitalism is a tour de force of the science of country level differences in cognitive ability. It raises important questions about the role of cognitive ability for culture, health, economics, education, technology, immigration and government. The theory of cognitive capitalism promises to inform our understanding of country level differences just as Darwin's theory informed our understanding of individual differences.' Thomas R. Coyle, University of Texas, San Antonio
