Much of what we have believed to be Great about ourselves has dissipated these last few years. Our country doesn’t work properly. And it is only going to get worse. Much worse.
The Indian story is starkly different under prime minister Modi. India quietly celebrated when it surpassed the U.K. as the 5th largest economy in 2022. Although Britain took little notice and still does, it represented an irreversible shift in the direction of global prosperity and power which will see India become the world’s second-largest economy by 2050, behind only China, to the fantastic fortune of its young population. It’s no surprise that 1 in 3 young British Indian are considering leaving the country. When the ship is stranded, you jump on the lifeboat. |

The UK is pinching relative to it's size.
The massive countries like China, Russia and brasil will become huge economies, that's accepted.
How the prosperity per person tracks... That's the interesting one.

India is a fascinating country.
I think European (I include the UK in that for this purpose) and US citizens have very little idea about what’s going on in the world outside of their own borders. They still think it’s 1960 and their only competition is each other.
The world is changing rapidly and the West has retreated into a bunker of socialist decline and big state welfarism. I don’t hold out much hope for anything but the short term. |
