DESCRIPTION:Prof. Luciano Pietronero\nWe discuss a new approach to the com
 plexity of countries and products. The basic information is represented by
  the matrix of countries and exported products. The strongly dynamical sit
 uation of the world market suggests that flexibility and adaptability are 
 important elements in the spirit of bio-diversification. The basic idea is
  to derive self-consistently a Fitness parameter for the countries and a Q
 uality parameter for the products. These concepts are implemented with the
  use of statistical concepts inspired to the page rank (Google) problem an
 d lead to a novel classification with new information with respect to the 
 standard economic analysis.
