Description of World Boom Ahead |
In 'World Boom Ahead,' business journalist Knight Kiplinger looks beyond today's headlines - and the choppy waters just ahead - at the broad outlook for key industries, demographics and world markets. His conclusion: 'The world stands on the threshold of a long, strong surge in economic growth and living standards, unprecedented in world history.'
The driving force of this expansion, Kiplinger says, will be the dispersal of technology, resulting in a sharp increase in worldwide productivity. In the developing nations, a vast new global middle class will be both tough competitors and avid customers of the advanced nations.
Now, in 'World Boom Ahead' Kiplinger broadens his lens to the next wo decades. It is a vision of rapid and tumultuous change in global markets, the workplace and the structure of business. There will be accelerating advances in telecommunications, biotech, new materials and energy. The next century will be fraught with pitfalls for the unprepared - but rich in opportunities for those who see the changes coming.
