Brown - previous UK Prime Minister (while promoting his book, but still):
"In 10 years, Asia's consumer market will be twice the US's consumer market."
Only 10 years. It is just too fast. This is at the same time that we are expecting the US and Europe to contract, reduce spending and hope for the best. At this rate Asia will be the center and the edge. US and Europe would be tourist attactions. Can those societies handle the wealth and the influence? They have so far.
