Hamish McRae, acclaimed economics guru at the 'Independent', has drawn on the best research available form Europe, Japan and America to suppost his radical new vision of the changes to come in the world order in economic, social and political terms over the next generation.
Why will a country's success depend as much on its people's good behaviour as on their skills? Why will culture rather than technology determine which countries dominate? Why will manufacturing no longer be the key to economic success? Why will Japan's rise peak? Why will Europe never become a superstate? Hamish McRae explores a range of controversial issues that will affect all our futures.
Regarded as one of the most original commentators on economics, Hamish McRae is also renowned for making complicated subjects accessible to the general reader. The result is a compelling, illuminating and highly readable vision of the key forces that will shape the next twenty-five years.
“Grounded in penetrating reflections, thoughtful, sensible and extremely well written”

SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
