Includes bibliographical references in course guidebook.Lecturer: Peter Rodriguez, Darden School of Business, University of Virginia."You are living at a critical moment of change for the world economy. A moment that will be defined by the economic trajectories of three key players. A moment whose outcome will have a deep and lasting impact on the way you live. Recent years have seen a dramatic, unprecedented transformation in the landscape of the global economy. And the catalyst of this transformation -- destined to create a new economic order that will scarcely resemble that of the last 300 years -- is undoubtedly the rise of China and India. Both nations, which represent around 37% of the world's population, have experienced a rapid surge in annual economic growth of 7% to 10% in the last decade alone -- a growth rate that is nothing short of miraculous."--Publisher.
