Description
Book SynopsisEast Asia has re-emerged after a long eclipse as a centre of world wealth creation and growth. Over the past four decades the region s share of world GDP has risen from less than 10 to 30 percent, a ratio that is set to rise to 40 percent by 2030.
Trade ReviewIn contrast to other regions born of empire, South Asia has emerged as the locus of both hyper-advanced actors in global capitalism, and the source of the most significant counter-systemic challenge to it. Will the region survive these seeming contradictions, and what will be the effect on the rebalancing of global power? Philip Golub’s timely study provides a unique perspective on these contradictory trend, and illuminating answers to these questions. This is an eminently readable and intellectually stimulating study by one of the most astute observers of global trends.
