On NPR last night, they had a guy on that suggested that for the median worker, the Nordic countries have a higher standard of living than in the United States. He also suggested that there will be the rise of what he called Confucianism economics, where Asia will become the dominant economic power. He included China and India as part of Asia. He stated that in India, they are benefiting from the colonialism of Britain, which brought English as a secondary language, and significant education for the masses. There will be a demographic of 40-something's Indians who are educated, speak English, and have access to the West's technology.
He did downplay Capitalism as a positive economic model. On an alternate subject, where will Africa be in 2050? They have almost completely opposite problems in regard to an aging population.
