By 2050, China’s economy will be almost twice the size of the U.S. If these risks are contained, the next forty years are likely to see extraordinary changes. These factors include access to technology, the opening up of markets, stabilized macroeconomic conditions, higher savings and investment rates, and effective government interventions to support private-sector development.Ī realistic assessment suggests that this combination may persist in coming decades, but only if the global community mitigates a number of significant risks-climate change, geopolitical breakdown, financial crisis, and protectionism chief among them. In recent years, however, an extraordinary confluence of factors has allowed an unprecedented number of countries-and people-to achieve rapid income growth. Two centuries of history show that there is nothing automatic about economic development and catch-up. In this book, Uri Dadush and William Shaw provide the first systematic examination of the long-term implications of this tectonic shift for the international economy and global governance, covering both domestic and international economic policies. The rapid rise of what we used to call the developing world is a defining trend of our time.
