<<<I like the idea of raising people up>>> The standard of living will be going up for the majority of mankind. How that is managed is anyone's guess, but what I am suggesting is that global competitiveness for IP and resources are realities that all nation states have to face and they better have policies in place that can benefit their own citizens(but not exclusively). For a nation state to sustain a high standard of living, they will have to continuously reinvent themselves and find ways to develop intellectual property to maintain and sustain a high standard of living. In as far as competing for natural resources, nation states can resort to thuggery in the short term (eg Rep Party) to maintain a high standard of living or be really smart at it by develop IP that reduces waste (using energy more efficiently and /or develop intellectual property that produces energy from renewable sources. ) In any case, the standard of living for most people will be going up where there is no upper limit (only where our imagination will take us) and that is a good thing.
