| I mean - you’re wrong. 20 years ago America and Europe dominated the world - today the US is growing increasingly perilous politically and Europe is little more than a museum, irrelevant by the day. The collective economies of Canada, Europe and Australia haven’t grown since 2008. 15 years. The US is the only “western” economy which has actually shown real GDP growth. A staggering number of academics and researchers are now opting to either stay or return home - because home is a better place to live than the West, unlike 20 years ago. By the year 2040, there is only going to be a single “western” country among the worlds 10 largest economies. It’s basic math. China is just the start - there are 4-5 new chinas emerging over the next 2-3 decades What you are saying is respectfully a highly incorrect and somewhat sheltered perspective. |
