The
New World Economy: Development Challenges in the 21st Century
The world economy seems to be changing faster
than ever. Some of the changes, such as rapid growth
in China and India and growing economic freedom are
surely good changes, but what about other changes? What do outsourcing, immigration and increasing flows of trade
and
investment with emerging markets mean for the US and Western Europe? Professor
Peter Rodriguez offers his insights on some of the new challenges
of growth and development in the world economy.
