The document discusses emerging markets and challenges faced in transitioning economies. It references the "Zhou Dynasty" period in China and grappling with establishing stability and innovation in emerging markets similar to BRIC countries. Specific examples discussed include transitions in Eastern Europe following the fall of communism and challenges faced by Balkan countries in developing politically, economically and through privatization and new networks. Education and building national online training platforms are presented as opportunities to address issues like unemployment and developing job skills.
2. “We dream of hope we dream of change,
fire, love, death, then it happens, the
dream becomes real, and the answer to
this quest, this need to solve life's
mysteries finally shows itself.…”
Mohinder Suresh quote from Heroes TV
