Breakout Nations

This book takes a fresh approach to identifying the economic stars of the future by abandoning the habit of extrapolating from the recent past and lumping wildly diverse countries together. After years of rapid growth, the most celebrated emerging markets are about to slow down. Which countries will rise to challenge them? Drawing insights from time spent on the ground and detailed demographic, political, and economic analysis, the author identifies which countries are most likely to leap ahead and why. With a captivating picture of the shifting balance of global economic power among emerging nations and the West, this book is a must-read for those interested in international economics.
