“We have the heaviest concentration of lawyers on Earth -- one for every five-hundred Americans; three times as many as are in England, four times as many as are in West Germany, twenty-one times as many as there are in Japan. We have more litigation, but I am not sure that we have more justice. No resources of talent and training in our own society, even including the medical care, is more wastefully or unfairly distributed than legal skills. Ninety percent of our lawyers serve 10 percent of our people. We are over-lawyered and under-represented.” PeopleCareEarthThreeJusticeFiveFourTalentSkillsTrainingPercentHundredResourcesEnglandTwentiesWestIncludingLawyerMedicalNot SureGermanyJapanConcentrationOne TimeThree TimesNinetyTwenty OneMedical CareWest Germany Author:Jimmy Carter

“Non-cooperative approaches, by contrast, almost always involve duplication of effort, since someone working independently must spend time and skills on problems that already have been encountered and overcome by someone else. A technical hitch, for example, is more likely to be solved quickly and imaginatively if scientists (including scientists from different countries) pool their talents rather than compete against one another.” IfsHas BeensDifferentCountryProblemEffortTalentExampleSkillsApproachScientistOvercomingIncludingPoolContrastEnd TimesSpend TimeCooperativesDifferent CountriesDuplication Author:Alfie Kohn
