“ Science, technology and innovation can help in solving problems such as access to energy, food and water security, climate change and biodiversity loss, the scientists said.” Source: Mis, Magdalena; editing by Gevirtz, Leslie – “Investing in science can be 'the game changer' for development: experts”. Thomson Reuters foundation. Web. 8 Jul …In other words, economies today lack the spirit of innovation… The Humanities describe the ascent of the modern world. Countries worldwide can use the humanities to develop or revive the economies that drove this ascent, while helping individuals to lead more productive and fulfilling lives. Source: Edmund S.
