Thomas Friedman had some weaker points in The World is Flat, but I believe him about the future of America lying in creative enterprises. STEM can be creative though, and without a solid understanding of the base processes, innovation cannot take place. I've been disappointed at many of the liberal arts curriculums I've seen looking at colleges, the education system in the US has really failed to update itself. I think the push towards STEM is a misplaced attempt to update the system.
