Description
In his groundbreaking new book, America's leading trend forecaster and the number one international bestselling author of Megatrends and Megatrends 2000 cuts through the welter of confusing data and opinion to identify and explain the single most momentous global development of the 1990s-one that affects the future for all of us. In Megatrends Asia, John Naisbitt reveals the significant business, political, social, and cultural changes that are transforming the nations of that region into an economic colossus that will soon become a dominant force in the rest of the world.
Writing with the combination of acute perceptions and broad sweep of his previous Megatrends best- sellers, Naisbitt describes the dramatic events that are now taking place in Asia as once isolated nation-states expand their individual economies and develop a powerful new synergy that works to their mutual benefit. Although the United States continues to focus on Europe, Naisbitt shows why the collapse of the Soviet Union and the formation of the European Community 'cannot match in importance the modernization of Asia and the profound impact it will have on American business. Within five years, he writes, Asia's combined gross national product will be double that of Europe and will represent one third of the entire world economy. In the twenty-first century Asia will become both our major competitor and the major consumer of American goods and services.
