review 1: 떠오르는 기대주 국가들을 나열하고, 그렇게 생각하는 이유에 대해서 설명하고 있는데, 그 방식에 약간 거부감이 든다. 객관적인 데이터를 바탕으로 타 국가와 비교하기보다는 저자의 주관적인 판단으로 평가를 하고, 지나치게 단정 짓는 표현들이 많아서 객관성과 신뢰성에 의심이 간다. 그 외에는 세계의 다양한 신흥국가들의 상황에 대해서 몰랐던 사실을 알게 된 부분들이 많아서 즐겁고 유익했다.
review 2: Featuring chapters on countries like India, China, Russia, Turkey, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, and regions like Africa, Middle East, Central Europe, South East Asia, this books lists out the varying factors at play in various
... moredeveloping economies.One thing that strikes out is how woeful India's per capita income is, in comparison to even these countries, and how all the talk about us being an upcoming superpower is pure hogwash. America and the developed countries make an appearance towards the fag end of the book. The author has great faith in America's continued economic dominance, led as it is by the Silicon valley tech giants big on innovation and handsomely aided by new incoming talents. Ruchir Sharma, incidentally, outs himself as a right winger when he prescribes the pain-medicine for recessions- "a hard landing is essential to bouncing right back up". Corporations in trouble? let them go bust, country in trouble? devalue currency and cut wages. Good read. less
