The era of breakneck expansion in celebrated emerging economies has ended. Morgan Stanley investor Ruchir Sharma spent twenty years traveling the world to identify which nations will become tomorrow's economic powerhouses. Sharma challenges popular assumptions about China and India's unstoppable momentum. He presents his framework for identifying success stories and makes bold predictions about unexpected contenders. The author argues that Western nations, particularly America, may experience their own economic revival. Drawing from extensive fieldwork across developing markets, Sharma offers country-specific analysis and investment insights. His contrarian perspective questions established thinking about global economic trends. The book provides readers with tools to understand shifting power dynamics and spot emerging opportunities in an evolving world economy.
