Economic freefall? We're growing faster than ever :D
(but, just in case, I ditched my car and I'm now going to places on foot... I'm a student, after all) |
Faster than China and India... and everywhere else in the world. :p |

Actually, you should add India, Russia and Brazil to the list of countries that will probably own the next century, along with most current developed countries. So, in that sense, it won't be a "hegemony", but just another plural world order. |
you are right, lets just call it an end to what was before.
its just that i have been here 3 months and have not seen anything near this amount of growth in my lifetime.working 10 hours a week ("working") i make more money than the typical household in north amrica. Thats not counting privates. For the first time in my lifetime at least (imo) i can say that the north american econonomy ( the euro) is not the economy that people are betting on. |

Depends on where you work. Lots of jobs in the fast-growing countries provide waaaaaaaaay less than similar jobs in North America.
And that, of course, is why certain Asian and South American economies are growing so quickly: cheap labor + lower cost of living.
It will all even out eventually. |

| the cost of living is high here. I live in the 3rd most expensive city int the world. (london, moscow, then seoul). If you find a growing market that needs a service that cannot be provided internally, then ing score. I'm not joking, asia right now is tha land of milk and honey with 2.9% income tax. You cannot lose. |

The cost of living refers to the expense for expatriate workers, not for everybody:

Expatriates typically expect a higher standard of living than what the average citizen gets, which is why it costs more for them to live there.
The biggest growth rates are actually found in "developing" countries like China and India, not in already-developed ones like South Korea or Japan, although South Korea is certainly growing faster than the U.S. or the UK, for example. |
