UNCTAD has recently published this annual report. It and a series of press releases emphasize the alarming gape between rich and poor countries in terms of knowledge and innovation: The front cover of the 2007 Report shows two maps of the world in which countries are not shown according to their surface area (as usually done). Rather, in the top map countries are resized according to the commercial knowledge they generate, and in the bottom map they are resized according to the number of poor people living there.
