Summary:	Knowledge, lacking weight and other physical attributes and being intangible, is a hidden factor of production, making economies grow "weightless." But knowledge is also imbedded in technology. If, becaue of low productivity, poor countries keep buying low-technology machines, will they remain stuck in a low-technology, low-growth trap?
