It may seem odd but I would say Godel Escher Bach. I can't really think of any other book that I would consider worth while reading at the start of my carear. (I am actually thinking of before my college education.)
I think it represents a conflict of interest when you are in-charge or the 'developing' nation. Especially when it has natural resources, or if you are primarily there to harvest a cash crop.
After watching the Youtube video on Google's venture in China I am 'slightly' inclined to disagree. It was stated that free was priority so they just bundled up the software which as much Malware/spyware that was necessary to pay for the software.
This _should_ be redundant, however you get the same effect with languages and actual special effort is need to understand it. For instance (IMHU) there was a particular tablet that was required to understand Ancient Egyptian.
IMHU = In my honest understanding.
Now imagine if ebay started using GPG/PGP on it's email and encouraging the masses to use and understand the technology. (Even at the "here take this plugin" level.)

Hey, mind if I ask you a zOS related question. My email is valid.

I think with greater exposure to poor quality writing that people would learn why it is bad. Then actually attempt to communicate better. :)
That seems to describe the Marketing place I am currently in too.
I agree with grandparent. Politics. Although it was probably brought about by constant nagging and put downs by us.
My opinion behind this is that in the US they try sell a Brand, ie The Simpsons. But I don't have an alternative model to apply to the Japanese.

Just give them laptops and they will hibernate the computer every night in order to hide it from potential thieves, or to use it at home, ect.
