Convencionalmente, la economía industrial utiliza la teoría económica neoclásica para explicar la productividad de la empresa/industria. El nivel micro se refiere a los análisis de la estructura, la conducta y el rendimiento y los factores de ventaja competitiva de la empresa/industria. El nivel macro se ocupa de los análisis de las capacidades, los incentivos y otras políticas y programas destinados a promover la creación de mercados, la creatividad general y la capacidad de innovación, así como la forma en que la industria puede protegerse de las perturbaciones. Sin embargo, la digitalización ha cambiado la situación de las empresas/industrias y ha hecho que los modelos de economía industrial inspirados en la economía neoclásica sean incapaces de explicar las realidades actuales. También se explica cómo el auge de la Inteligencia Artificial ha llevado a la Era de la Información a su fase avanzada, denominada aquí la Era de la Inteligencia, y el auge del capital de ingenio como factor de ventaja competitiva comparativa y fuente de plusvalía en la nueva economía.

The Book Trump Vs Biden: The Triumph of Trumpism argues that alas President Joe Biden may not make much difference in American politics because he is out to rubbish his predecessor without taking a deep look at Donald Trump¿s policies. Yet, many of what Joe Biden is doing have the footprints of Donald Trump. Four key themes were used here for the comparison, as follows: (1) the counter-COVID strategy/ efforts; (2) the US withdrawal from Afghanistan; (3) the immigrants¿ challenge; and (4) foreign policy doctrine. Generally, it is submitted here that despite some mistakes, President Donald Trump made efforts to do well on all four themes, and so far President Biden is building on the foundations laid by the Trump presidency, and not adopting strategies/ approaches that are significantly different. The Triumph of Trumpism argues that ultimately the Biden-Harris presidency may barely recycle Trump's strategies, with very minor variations.

COVID 19 is a pandemic like no other; unprecedented, unpredictable, and devastating yet yielding enormous opportunities for disruptive innovational thinking. Despite its poor health emergency preparedness, and challenges of poverty and food insecurity, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) generally suffers fewer COVID deaths compared to the advanced countries¿ regions. Essentially, the traditional African diet has more micronutrient-rich vegetables, herbs, spices, and fruits that are immune-boosting. Moreover, the SSA population commonly suffers malaria and typhoid fever attacks, which are treated regularly with the so-called Dr. Didier¿s dual therapy. Perhaps the long-term use of the dual therapy and the dietary habits of most SSA people render them more immune to COVID 19.While the world should learn from Africa, governments and businesses in the continent should modernize African Traditional Medicine (ATM) and propagate herbal food and medicinal materials. The World Health Organization should unbiasedly investigate the reported successes of ATM remedies for the treatment of COVID and other ailments, and the global community should help incorporate ATM into the mainstream healthcare mix.

Conventionally, industrial economics uses neoclassical economic theory to explain the productivity of enterprise/ industry. The micro-level concerns the analyses of structure, conduct, and performance and the competitiveness advantage factors of the firm/ industry. The macro-level deals with the analyses of capacities, incentives, and other policies and programs aiming to promote market-making, overall creativity, and innovativeness, and how the industry can be shielded from shocks. However, digitalization has changed the situation of firms/ industries and made neoclassical economics-inspired industrial economics models incapable to explain current realities. Also explained is how the surge in Artificial Intelligence has taken the Information Age to its advanced stage, referred to here as the Intelligentsia Age, and the rise of ingenuity capital as the comparative competitiveness advantage factor and source of surplus value in the new economy.
