Reseña del editor
Which countries are likely to improve substantially their standard of living and their quality of life as the next generation grows up? Which ones will muddle along? Which countries will fail? By looking at The economies of the world in the present and the recent past and making calculations about the way they will perform over the next 30 years, Hamish McRae puts forward a judgement on the future. At the end of the 20th century, America, Europe and East Asia stand poised on the brink of change. The growth of their economies depends on education, on the role of government and on their cultural copyright: not just on efficiency, but also on originality. This book discusses where countries stand now and how their problems and potential might change. Taking on board demographic change, technology and the balance between manufacturing and service industry in international trade, it analyzes not just what could happen but what could go wrong - and right - along the way.
Contraportada
In The World in 2020, acclaimed commentator and best-selling author Hamish McRae paints a vivid competitive landscape in which culture and values will be the new sources of advantage for the industrialized nations. In the year 2020, all having embraced market capitalism, the North American, European and East Asian countries will be engaged in fierce economic competition. With each nation increasingly able to imitate the others, innovations will cross borders within more days and weeks, removing technological prowess as a source of sustained advantage. McRae sees the "old motors for growth" - land, capital and natural resources - being replaced by more qualitative assets - quality, organization, motivation and self-discipline of the people. Everywhere, governments will take a less active role in the social and economic life of the nation. In such a world, the best predictor of success will be how a nation strikes a proper balance between creativity and intellect on the one hand, and social responsibility on the other. Thus the leading world economic powers of the next generation are just as likely to include China and Australia as the United States and Japan.
