Brilliant young scientists are quickly identified by competitions and universities, ambitious young entrepreneurs are given capital and contacts by eager venture capitalists, charismatic young politicians are awarded power by voters, and basketball virtuosi are drafted to the NBA before the age of 20.

Investment in the mass of men—best achieved through investment in public infrastructure—has always been even more important than nurturing genius.

"The buying and selling of girls in Iraq, it's like the trade in cattle," Hinda says. "I've seen mothers haggle with agents over the price of their daughters." (See pictures of Iraq...
