VOICES: LUC L. SOETE

TITLE
Director, Maastricht Economic Research Institute on Innovation, University of Maastricht. 48.

CONTRIBUTIONS
Soete sees seismic economic change coming to Europe. Faster technology development has helped the North grow the most.

IN HIS WORDS
''Europe is following the U.S., with [English-speaking] nations leading the way. That contrasts with Japan and Korea, where the importance of hardware and the weak service sector may be contributing to the crisis.''
