IPPR report Oceans of Innovation - 4

"...the next half century demands innovation in social and economic realms and indeed fundamentally in human relations" - for this to happen there will have to be global standards of morality, which is hardly likely in the foreseeable future.

"The fundamental question is how to create the conditions in which unprecedented innovation can take place..." - perhaps social media has a role to play here, allowing individuals in the West to interact with individuals in China, Russia, India and Brazil.

"...leaders need to focus on creating the conditions in which the necessary innovations can take place, and in which countless individuals with leadership responsibilities are well-educated enough to make good decisions..." - perhaps using the model of the Rhodes scholarships (in which Oxford mores and values have come to dominate the political elite of the Western world).
