Brilliant and timely

"Diversity Advantage" is an updated version of Zachary's 2000 "the Global Me." Zachary makes the case for why diversity can be a resource for companies, institutions, and states. Briefly, hybrids-- such people of mixed ethnic or social backgrounds, and immigrants-- today are growing in numbers, public prominence, and economic importance: they jump-start regional and national economies, give industries a critical edge, strengthen states, and diversify the intellectual capital of corporations. Indeed, hybridity is the modern philosopher's stone, the key to economic vitality among global corporations and advanced nations.
