About the Author

Dimitris Drisis was born in Kavala Greece in 1969, first born of 3 children. His early exposure to Malthusian Economics by his father, the social role of agriculture to feed a growing population, his affinity to nature and his fascination with the work of Norman Borlaug created the right motivation mix to study Agronomy, unusual for a city boy. His Postgraduate studies were in Masters Business Administration, Postgraduate qualifications in Marketing Management and Doctor in Business Administration with a doctoral thesis in the technology vs. society interaction using the profound and popular example of Agricultural or Green Biotechnology. His studies and professional life developed his pro-science and pro-capital professional attitude. His favorite quotes from Schumpeter "capital is not to provide silk stockings to the queens of the world, but to the factory girls" and Albert Einstein that "I never think of the future, it is always close enough" defined his economical beliefs on the role of corporations to plan timely and develop technologies that increase the social welfare.
