Reading Thomas Friedman's The World is Flat is essential, hang in there
til
he admits that the world is not really flat, since so few can
participate
in the flattening.

Also Great Influenza by Barry - if you want to know how the modern
medical
school model came to be, it is here and also how the model is likely to
get
changed as well.

These are great works that integrate the sense of class and health
distribution and why things came to be and how they are likely to
change.

One thing is apparent in a flat world. Universities no longer have the
monopoly on information. Passionate people working part time will be
doing
much more. Passionate and organized people will be accomplishing much
more.
Teamwork on projects by folks at all levels and all walks is also
possible.

This can be for very good things and for very bad things.

I think we all are for very good, but if we do not all do our jobs
better,
there will be those that organize for very bad. As bad as things are, I
can
assure you that there is potential for much worse.
