That’s what Adrian Wooldridge and the Economist call our emergent global economy, current madness notwithstanding. The Americans are still the undisputed leaders, and they’re likely to hold the top slot for quite a while, but both the Chinese and the Indians understand the game almost as well as we do. And the Europeans and Japanese border on hopeless.
I heartily commend to your attention “Global Heroes: A Special Report on Entrepreneurship“—in the 14 March Economist.
