What will the economy
of the future look like?
Everyone seems to believe the the primary trend in
the coming years and decades will be globalization. Will this really be the
most important factor? What impact will accelerating technology have?
The
convential view is that countries like China and India will
grow in importance relative to Western countries and that
jobs will continue to be transferred to workers in these
countries via offshoring and factory relocations. How will
technology influence all of this? Is it possible that many of
the conventional forcasts about the future are
wrong?
