...received a letter from the Sécurité Sociale informing me that I had to book a pelvic X-ray for my then newborn daughter - or risk losing out on future reimbursements and coverage. Several days later, when the results revealed everything to be normal, I asked the radiologist how many infants were diagnosed with a problematic pelvis. Not many, I was told. However, she continued, the government reasoned that it was far more cost-effective to X-ray every newborn in the country - and fix the deformity before the child learned to walk - than shoulder the cost...

"I've been thinking about that a lot since I heard Obama...
...chairman of Infosys, who has persuaded U.S. companies to move tens of thousands of jobs to India, says, "People should look at careers which cannot be delivered over a wire. If someone is a cardiac surgeon, they're not going to be displaced. But if they are a radiologist, somebody from Bangalore is liable to check X-rays over a wire." And labor-force quality is key. "People will have to really focus on education," Nilekani says. "That has to happen." Still, Nilekani is sure that the U.S. will find its way in the internationalized economy. "The capacity...
