Harris believes the world increasingly relies on brain capital, where a premium is put on brain skills and health (e.g., an individual’s cognitive, emotional, and social brain resources). Investing in building brain capital is fundamental to meet modern societal challenges and drive innovation. He leads the development of the brain capital field and seeks to place it at the center of economics, policy, finance and technology.
