Linking surplus, investment, innovation and scale to the Indian Varna classifcations

Well it is fashionable to critique caste and I for one do not believe in hereditary caste,  but the caste categories stand as memory aids to these four sources of power

Surplus Generation: Profits seems the natural Vaishya Turf

Investment or Sacrifice: Kshatriya turf, involves taking risks

Innovation: R& D , Brahmin , idea driven turf

Scale: Mass markets, the Shudra element

Even one of this failing will weaken the society

Innovation and surplus without scale is the European predicament

Investment , surplus and scale without innovation is the Asian predicament today !
