Title: The authors' insights on prosperity and education
Product review: Davis and Wessel articulate ideas that have appeared elsewhere such as the necessity of flatter organizations and team decision-making. What makes their book insightful is the comparison between electricity and computers. They note that it took decades before the economic impact of electricity took hold and predict that it will take a few more years for computers to increase productivity exponentially. They make a strong case for the efficacy of community colleges. The authors rightly contend that these colleges are more important to our nation than Harvard. Community colleges will raise the skill levels of American workers just as high schools did at the turn of the century. Education is the key to increased productivity and will also narrow the wage gaps that exist in our society
