Investors are actively seeking portfolio diversification across asset classes and geographies – but what makes for a safe haven in today’s volatile and unpredictable world? Dr. Parag Khanna has spent a quarter century traveling to more than 150 countries, advising the largest and most prestigious asset managers as well as the most respected and successful governments. His deep and interdisciplinary analysis paints a data-rich picture of megatrends spanning economics, geopolitics, demographics, technology and climate. Distilling these themes into actionable insights for investors, he confidently forecasts which societies and sectors are most likely to succeed in this complex new investment landscape.
America no longer runs the world, nor will a “new Cold War” between the US and China determine global order. Instead, we find ourselves in a hyper-competitive “geopolitical marketplace,” the term Dr. Parag Khanna coined to capture how a half-dozen major powers are vying to be the trusted providers of military security, financial capital, energy resources, industrial equipment, digital technology, transport infrastructure and other vital services. Meanwhile, rather than choose sides, smart countries practice a deft “multi-alignment,” doing business in all directions to get the best deal for themselves. With his extensive experience advising heads of state and global corporations, Dr. Khanna guides you in finding opportunities in this complex new global system.
Asia is the world’s undisputed economic core. More than half the world’s population and GDP, as well as most of the world’s fast-growing economies and rapidly expanding middle class, are contained with its increasingly dense trade and investment agreements. Asia used to produce for the world, now the world produces for Asia. After Japan and China, the next chapter of Asia’s economic story is being written by the “fourth wave” regions of South and Southeast Asia, with countries such as India and Vietnam becoming key destinations for high-tech manufacturing as they capture key value chains and lead the world in minting unicorns. As the author of the landmark book The Future is Asian and strategic advisor to numerous Asian governments and corporations, there is no better guide than Dr. Parag Khanna to the geography that is defining the 21st century economy.
