The Future Is Asian

Global Order in the Twenty-First Century

De: Parag Khanna

Narrado por: Nezar Alderazi

Five billion people, two-thirds of the world's mega-cities, one-third of the global economy, two-thirds of global economic growth, 30 of the Fortune 100, six of the 10 largest banks, eight of the 10 largest armies, five nuclear powers, massive technological innovation, the newest crop of top-ranked universities. Asia is also the world's most ethnically, linguistically and culturally diverse region of the planet, eluding any remotely meaningful generalisation beyond the geographic label itself. Even for Asians, Asia is dizzying to navigate.

Whether you gauge by demography, geography, economy or any other metric, Asia is already the present - and it is certainly the future. It is for this reason that we cannot afford to continue to get Asia so wrong. The Future Is Asian accurately shows Asia from the inside out, telling the story of how this mega-region is coming together and reshaping the entire planet in the process.

Maybe if the stats had more context?

This overlong book has a few good insights, but most are lost in the barrage of statistics that have dubious meaning to forward the case of the Future is Asian. More Russians are holidaying in Thailand this Russia is focusing more on Asia......really??
