There are social, political, and environmental challenges. Important is keeping growth at a steady pace that will eliminate the unemployment lines. Pollution and environmental challenges, political backlash, debt and currency crises, inadequate medical care, threats of epidemics, and war are continuing challenges.

    Growth, Capital Accumulation, and the Economics of Ideas: Catching Up vs. the Cutting Edge

    Growth, Capital Accumulation, and the Economics of Ideas: Catching Up vs. the Cutting Edge

    he Chinese economy has been growing at an astonishing The Future of Economic Growth rate. In 2006, GDP per capita in China grew by 10 percent. In the same year, GDP per capita in the United States grew Takeaway by just 2.3 percent. In its entire history, the U.S. economy has never Appendix: Excellent Growth grown as fast as the Chinese economy is growing today. If these rates continue, China will be richer than the United States in less than 25 years. How can this make sense? Is there something wrong with the U.S. economy? Do the Chinese have a magical potion for economic growth? Remember, in the last chapter we explained that among the key institutions promoting economic growth were property rights, honest government, political stability, a dependable legal system, and competitive and open markets. But for each and every one of these institutions, the United States ranks higher than China, despite China’s having made remarkable improvements in recent decades. So why is China growing so much more rapidly than the United States? To answer this question, we must distinguish between two types of growth, catching up and cutting edge. Countries that are catching up have some enormous advantages.To become rich, a poor country does not have to invent new ideas, technologies, or methods of management. All it has to do is adopt the ideas already developed in the rich countries. As we will see, catch-up countries like China grow primarily through capital accumulation and the adoption of some simple ideas that massively improve productivity. The United States is the world’s leading economy—it is on the cutting edge. Growth on the cutting edge is primarily about developing new ideas. But developing new…

    Rise of China and India

    Since the early stages of the 1940 America has risen to power and stayed in power. To date America is considered the only true world super power. In the past the Roman Empire, Greek and Egyptian were all very dominating but even then there were challenging dynasty so they can’t be called a ‘super power’. In today’s society the world has two more economies forcing their way to the top, these two economies are China’s and India’s. The question being answered in this essay is: ‘does the rise of developing countries like China and India pose a serious challenge to US power?’ I believe yes, mainly because for so long the world has revolved around the American economy and with the rise of these two countries America will gradually start to lose its power. This essay will also address both China’s and India’s relatively quick rise to power over the last 25 years.…

    Global Shifts in Production, Trade and Direct Investment

    In the first years of new millennium, the global economic map is vastly more complicated than that of only a few decades ago. Although there are clear elements of continuity, dramatic changes have occurred. The overall trajectory (yörünge) of world economic growth has become increasingly volatile: short-lived surges (dalgalanma) in economic growth punctuated by periods of downturn or even recession. Within this uneven trajectory, however, there has been a substantial reconfiguration of the global economic map. Although a handful of older core economies still dominate international trade and investment flows, the most spectacular recent growth rates have been achieved by the East Asia NIEs. Without doubt, the most important single global shift of recent times has been the emergence of East Asia- including the truly potential giant, China. So, there have been big changes in the contours of the global economic map. The global economy can be described as a mosaic of unevenness in a continuous state of…

    Why Is China Failing?

    China is becoming a great economic superpower because of its large economic growth rate. The past two decades, China 's economy has grown at an average annual rate of more than 9% (Fishman, 2005, pg. 117). But the economic cost of environmental harm, growing inflation, and a slowing economic growth rate, China economy may not obtain the highest economic rank on the world stage. China was on the right track to becoming the next economic superpower but I think that pollution, inflation, and the income disparities between the urban and rural people are disrupting its economic growth and brought China into a depression.…

    Future Competitive Threats of China and India for Industries in Developed Countries

    The emergence of China as the mass manufacturing pioneer in the world has lead to the concern that China will soon be competing with the industries in the developed nations. India, at the same time, is emerging as the centre of IT enabled services including software development, and poses significant threat to the developed countries in high-skill goods and services. Today, the main competitive threat that China and India pose to the developed nations is their cheap labour. They are able to produce basically anything at a much lower price compare to those in the western developed nations. Therefore, they signify threats to these countries. However, on the future prospects, China and India would acquire competitive threat that is different from what they were before. For instance, the education rate in China and India are both increasing, and they produce about half a million of scientists and engineers a year comparing to mere 60,000 in the US. Therefore, these skilled labours will take over the current low skilled labours in these two countries and further exploit the opportunities that they have, and compete better in the high skill sectors. In addition, many companies from the developed nations have shifted their R&D centre to the China and India, therefore, China and India are able to learn and gain experience through these foreign R&D centre and excel in innovations in the future. This makes the developed nations to lose their competitive advantage, and signifies competitive threat from China and…
